The Seal Strip - Rear Quarter Glass Seal Strip Right, identified by part number 1497715-00-D, is a specialized rubber component designed to seal the right-side rear quarter glass of the vehicle it is engineered for. Crafted from high-quality rubber, this seal strip plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of the vehicle’s interior and enhancing overall comfort and protection.
Made from durable rubber, the seal strip offers excellent flexibility and resilience. Rubber’s inherent properties allow it to conform tightly to the contours of the rear quarter glass and its surrounding frame, ensuring a secure, gap-free seal. This material is also highly resistant to environmental factors such as UV radiation, temperature fluctuations, rain, and road debris, preventing cracking, hardening, or degradation over time. Its robust construction ensures long-term performance, even under the constant stress of vehicle movement and exposure to harsh conditions.
The primary function of this seal strip is to create a barrier against external elements. It effectively blocks water, dust, dirt, and moisture from entering the vehicle’s interior through the gaps around the rear quarter glass. This protection is vital for preserving the interior upholstery, electrical components, and structural integrity of the vehicle, preventing water damage, mold growth, or corrosion.
By eliminating air gaps between the glass and the frame, the rubber seal strip helps reduce wind noise and external sounds from entering the cabin. This contributes to a quieter, more comfortable driving experience, especially at higher speeds where wind turbulence around the glass can generate significant noise.
The rubber material also acts as a buffer, absorbing vibrations between the glass and the vehicle’s body. This minimizes rattling or shaking of the glass during driving, particularly on rough roads, enhancing both comfort and the longevity of the glass and surrounding components.
With dimensions of 40152 (assumed unit: mm), the seal strip is precision-engineered to fit the specific contours of the right-side rear quarter glass area. Its compact size allows for a snug installation within the limited space between the glass and the frame, ensuring optimal sealing without interfering with the vehicle’s exterior design or functionality.
