Key Functions
1. Sealing & Protection
Environmental Barrier: Creates a tight seal between the rear right door and window, preventing water, dust, dirt, and debris from entering the cabin—critical for maintaining interior cleanliness and protecting electrical components from moisture damage.
Weather Resistance: The rubber material withstands extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and humidity, ensuring long - term sealing effectiveness even in harsh climates.
2. Noise Reduction
Minimizes wind noise by blocking air gaps around the window during driving, enhancing cabin quietness and passenger comfort. This contributes to the Tesla Model 3’s reputation for a refined, low - noise ride.
3. Aesthetic & Aerodynamic Role
Visual Enhancement: Some variants feature chrome accents (silver finish) that complement the Model 3’s sleek design, adding a polished touch to the door’s exterior.
Aerodynamic Aid: By smoothing airflow along the door - window edge, it helps maintain the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency, supporting overall energy efficiency.
Installation & Maintenance
User - Friendly Design: Typically designed for straightforward installation, with pre - cut contours matching the rear right door’s shape. However, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and a tight seal.
Replacement Cues: Signs of wear (e.g., cracking, shrinking, or loss of elasticity) may compromise sealing—prompt replacement with 1080748-00-I ensures continued performance.
This rubber molding is a small yet vital component, balancing practical protection with subtle design refinement to uphold the Tesla Model 3’s quality and comfort standards.
