Audi Door Sill Plate - Genuine Audi 8W0853373F9B9

Product Information

A door sill plate (also called a scuff plate or door sill cover) is the trim piece located at the bottom threshold of a car’s door opening — the part you step over when entering or exiting the vehicle.

It can be made from plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, or illuminated materials and serves both a protective and decorative purpose.

• Scratches, Scuffs, or Dents: Common from repeated foot traffic, especially on metal or painted sills without strong protective coatings.
• Cracks or Breakage (Plastic Sill Plates): Can occur from impact, heavy use, or aging materials becoming brittle.

About Genuine Audi

The original parts used by Audi to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Audi” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Audi, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the Audi Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Audi are not necessarily manufactured by Audi. No cause for concern, as Audi designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Audi for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Audi parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of an Audi logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
