These are basically rubber or plastic pieces designed to close gaps around things like doors, windows, the trunk, or even the hood. They create a barrier, sealing out water, dust, wind, and noise. Some are purely weatherproofing, others help with vibration dampening, and some even reduce wind resistance at higher speeds. They’re pretty versatile. Think of it like this – your car's body isn’t perfectly solid. There are seams and openings. This strip fills those gaps. It fits around the edges of panels, creating a tight seal. It’s not a structural part, it doesn’t hold anything together, but it’s crucial for keeping the inside of your car…well, inside. You’ll often find them around the windshield and windows, door frames, trunk lid, and sometimes even along the hood. It's important because without a good seal, you'll start seeing problems. Water leaks are the obvious one – a damp interior, rust starting, that sort of thing. But you’ll also notice if it's failing if you’re getting more wind noise while driving, or if the interior is noticeably draftier. It acts like a shield against the elements. Over time, these strips can dry out, crack, or simply compress and lose their effectiveness. They're relatively inexpensive to replace, and a lot cheaper than fixing the damage water or drafts can cause. You can find a good selection of them at places like Fixparts Online, and replacing them is usually a pretty straightforward DIY job. Support that lasts: Seal Strip (MPN 6Q0837241) includes a 12-month warranty!
