Product Information

Volkswagen Door and Window diagram for GTI, Golf

A door window belt weatherstrip (also called a belt molding, window sweep, or outer window seal) is the rubber or rubber-coated strip that runs horizontally along the base of a car’s door window where the glass meets the door panel.

• Water Leaks into the Door or Cabin: Rainwater seeps past the worn seal and may collect inside the door or drip into the interior.
• Wind Noise at Highway Speeds: Gaps in the seal allow air to whistle or roar into the cabin.
• Increased Dirt or Dust on the Glass and Door Interior: The strip no longer wipes the glass effectively, letting debris enter.

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.
