Purpose and body fitment

The trim strip is a component from the Door Upholstery group, designed specifically for installation in the rear right part of the body. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear passenger-side door area allows for maintaining the factory side line and proper support for the door card lining. Thanks to a design based on the manufacturer's original blueprint, the strip works with factory mounts and door geometry, which facilitates installation and reduces the risk of improper fitment.

Construction and finishing material

The aluminium finish of the strip provides a durable surface resistant to typical use, which integrates well with other interior decorative elements. The rigid construction supports the door card in a critical area, stabilizing the upholstery and limiting its deflection during daily door opening and closing. The profile of the strip has been designed to accurately replicate the shape of the door card edge, which translates into an aesthetic line and uniform adhesion to other trim components.

Function in the door upholstery system

The door card trim strip performs several important functions in the interior structure:

• stabilizes the door card lining in the rear right part of the body,
• masks the edges and joints of upholstery materials,
• supports the protection of the side part of the door against minor mechanical damage from the interior side,
• maintains the visual consistency of aluminium decors in the cabin.

Thanks to this element, it is possible to restore the correct geometry of the door card after previous repairs or upholstery replacement, which is important for both user comfort and the vehicle's value.

Component condition and service application

The offered trim strip is a used component, which makes it a cost-effective service solution for vehicle interior repairs, especially when the priority is to maintain the manufacturer's original specification at reasonable costs. This type of component is suitable for:

• repairs after damage to the door card in the rear right section,
• completing missing interior trim elements,
• restoring the factory look of the cabin after previous modifications.

The selection of the correct trim strip for a specific body version should always be verified with vehicle data to ensure full dimensional and assembly compatibility.
