1K8867785A Volkswagen STRIP

This stuff seals up the gaps around your doors, windows, hood, and trunk. Basically, it’s a flexible material, usually rubber or vinyl, designed to create a tight barrier. It keeps moisture, dust, wind, and noise out, and it keeps the climate control air in. Some pieces also help cushion the closing of doors and reduce vibration. Think of it like a gasket, similar to what you’d find on an engine, but for the body of your car. It’s positioned around any opening that moves—any place where two parts come together and need to seal. It’s not something you see prominently, it’s always tucked away in the gaps, but it's crucial. You’ll find it all the way around the door frames, where the windows slide, around the windshield and rear window, and even where the hood and trunk latch. Without good weatherstripping, you’ll start to notice problems. You'll feel drafts, hear more road noise, and potentially get water leaks. Water damage is a big concern, of course, leading to rust and mold. It also impacts how well your AC and heater work—you lose efficiency if air is escaping constantly. Over time, weatherstripping dries out, cracks, or just compresses. When it fails, things start letting in water and air. You’ll notice if your car is noticeably louder inside, if you feel a breeze around the doors or windows when it’s windy, or if you’re getting dampness inside after a rain. Replacing worn weatherstripping isn’t usually a huge job, and it makes a big difference in comfort and protecting your vehicle. If you're looking for parts, Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection, and you can usually find exactly what you need for your make and model.
