Volkswagen Door Seal - Genuine VW 1K3837701E9B9

Product Information

Door seals are essential components that prevent water, air, and debris from entering the vehicle's cabin. They also help to reduce road noise and maintain the interior climate.

• Cracking or tearing: Over time, exposure to the elements and frequent use can cause the rubber material to degrade, leading to cracks or tears.
• Shrinkage or compression: Temperature fluctuations can cause seals to shrink or compress, creating gaps that compromise their effectiveness.
• Water leaks or wind noise: Damaged or worn-out seals can result in noticeable water leaks during rain or increased wind noise at higher speeds.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW 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 VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly 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.
