Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented seal is designed for installation in the front, right part of the body, in the door area. It is responsible for a tight connection between the door leaf and the body frame, which directly affects:

• limiting the ingress of water and moisture into the cabin,
• reducing wind noise when driving at higher speeds,
• stable door closing and proper guidance of the door leaf in the door opening.

Thanks to its dedicated shape and profile, the seal works with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the original fitment geometry.

Technical and functional characteristics

The seal is made of flexible rubber material, selected for its resistance to variable temperatures, UV radiation, and typical operational loads in the door zone. The component's design was developed by the vehicle manufacturer, which translates into:

• consistency with the body line and factory assembly tolerances,
• proper operation during repeated opening and closing of the door,
• maintaining tightness over a long period of use.

The appropriately selected hardness of the rubber helps to reduce the transmission of vibrations from the body to the door, which positively affects the perceived driving comfort.

Condition of the component and service application

The offered seal is a used component, which allows for an economical replacement while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial in the case of:

• local leaks within the front right door area,
• mechanical damage or abrasion of the factory seal,
• service work after body and paint repairs in this body zone.

Using an original rubber seal helps avoid problems typical of aftermarket replacements, such as inaccurate fitment or the need for additional assembly modifications.

Benefits of using an original Ford seal

Choosing a component from the Door seals group dedicated to a specific Ford model translates into a number of practical benefits:

• maintaining the factory level of cabin soundproofing,
• protection of door sills and lower parts of the interior against moisture,
• reducing the risk of window fogging resulting from moisture ingress,
• aesthetic appearance of the door edges when closed.

Thanks to this, the seal supports maintaining the proper technical condition of the body and the comfort of using the vehicle in daily operation.
