1K0972825C Volkswagen guide tube

These are pretty straightforward. A guide tube basically protects wires as they pass through the body of the car, like where the wires go from the door into the frame. It guides the wires, keeps them from getting pinched or rubbing against sharp metal, and prevents them from shorting out or getting damaged. Sometimes they also help with managing the wire harness, keeping everything neat and tidy. Think of it as a pathway. Electrical wires are everywhere in a modern car, controlling everything. These tubes create a safe, dedicated route for those wires. Usually, you'll find them related to power windows, door locks, speakers, or anything that needs electricity to get from the car’s body to the moving parts, like the door. They aren't always obvious, they’re often hidden within the door jamb or behind panels. Well, if one of these tubes gets cracked, rusted, or broken, those wires are exposed. That can lead to all sorts of problems—intermittent electrical issues, things just stopping working, or even a short circuit which could be a bigger deal. They act like a shield, really. A damaged tube means those wires are vulnerable. You’ll notice if one is bad usually because something electrical in that circuit will start acting up, maybe a window will only go up halfway, or the lock will be finicky. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, so if you're tackling a repair, it's a cheap part to replace while you're in there and save yourself headaches down the road. Replacing a damaged tube is much easier than tracing and repairing damaged wiring. Get more for your money: Guide Tube (MPN 1K0972825C) is covered for 12 months!
