This stuff basically seals the gap between the grille and the surrounding body panels. It prevents water, dust, dirt, and even some noise from getting in behind the grille. It also helps to protect the edges of the metal from rust and chipping paint. It’s not a solid barrier, more like a flexible seal. Think of it as a first line of defense for the front end of your car. It’s not a structural piece, doesn’t hold anything together, but it does keep the elements where they belong – outside the engine compartment. It fits around the perimeter of the grille, kind of hugging the edges of the metal. It acts like a shield preventing stuff from working its way in. Well, water getting in there can cause corrosion over time, especially in the winter if you get snow and salt. Dirt and debris can just lead to general wear and tear. You’ll notice if it's missing or damaged because you might see more road noise, or maybe even water stains after a rain. It’s one of those parts that doesn’t get a lot of attention until it’s gone or failing. You can find a good selection of these, including options for your make and model, over at Fixparts Online. Replacing it is pretty straightforward, but it’s always a good idea to check a tutorial for your specific vehicle if you’re doing it yourself. It’s a relatively inexpensive part that can save you from bigger headaches down the road. Smart investment: Weatherstrip (MPN 8T0807861) comes with a 12-month warranty!
