Purpose and function of the component

The described moulding is dedicated to the front door area on the right side of the Volkswagen Passat B6 model. Its task is to protect the edges and surface of the door against minor mechanical damage and to complement the styling line of the body. Thanks to its precise profile, the moulding fits the door contours, maintaining factory geometry and mounting gaps.

Color and paint matching

The applied Deep Black Pearl Effect – C9X color is a pearl black characteristic of many Passat B6 units. Selecting a moulding in this shade reduces the need for additional painting, which speeds up the repair process and minimizes the risk of color differences between body panels. The pearl structure of the paint ensures a consistent visual effect with the remaining body panels.

Installation characteristics

The moulding is designed as an element intended for installation at factory mounting points on the front right door. The properly shaped edge and correct profile ensure stable seating on the door skin, which minimizes the risk of looseness, vibrations, and leaks. Thanks to a design consistent with the vehicle manufacturer's solutions, it is possible to maintain the original side line of the body.

Condition and use in repairs

The component comes from disassembly and is intended for reuse in the process of repairing or replacing a damaged moulding. This type of part will work well both for local post-collision repair and for visual refreshing of the side body area when the existing moulding is scratched or deformed. Choosing an original moulding from the same color series makes it easier to maintain a consistent vehicle appearance.

Compatibility and part selection

To correctly select the moulding for a specific Passat B6 unit, it is worth paying attention to:

• compatibility of the mounting side (front door on the right side),
• body type and vehicle model year,
• paint color designation on the vehicle (code C9X). This approach allows you to avoid problems with visual and mounting fitment and limits the need for additional modifications. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or modernization of the side body area in your Volkswagen and need other elements from the same group, such as covers, overlays, or additional mouldings, check the available parts in the Volkswagen protective and decorative mouldings category.
