The available models differ in shape, cross-section, length, intended area and whether they come with adhesive. To browse all vehicle solutions, you can also visit the Cars & Vehicles category.
Rubber seals for different areas of the car
Door and window seals
Adhesive car seals for doors and windows include profiles for the inside or outside of the door, as well as specific solutions for window regulators. The product pages list Z, L, D, V and B profiles in different sizes and lengths.
Depending on the model, the stated function includes thermal and acoustic insulation, noise reduction, glass protection or door-edge protection. Check compatibility by comparing the profile shape, cross-section and application area. For further insulation solutions, see Car Thermal & Acoustic Insulation.
Windscreen, rear window and sunroof seals
Windscreen seals include models for the front windscreen, the rear window and the sunroof. T profiles and other shapes intended for specific application methods, including external fitting, are available.
The functions stated on the individual product pages include soundproofing, sealing and reducing the ingress of water, wind or dust, where provided by the specific product. The application method depends on the chosen profile: check the size, intended area and presence of adhesive on the product page.
Bonnet, boot and tailgate seals
Bonnet seals are designed to close and protect the gap around the engine compartment. Other models are designed for the gap between the roof and the tailgate, with specific formats for saloon or hatchback cars.
Car boot and tailgate seals can help with sealing, acoustic insulation and reducing dust or water ingress when stated on the product page. Compare length, shape and intended area before choosing.
Protective profiles for wheel arches and bodywork
The arch profile in this category is designed for the wheel arch and mudguard. The product page describes it as protecting the paintwork from mud and stones; choose it according to the shape and cross-section available.
For other solutions to protect edges and bodywork, see Bump Guards & Vehicle Protection.
How to choose a car seal
- Identify the area of the vehicle. Start from where it will be fitted: door, window, windscreen, rear window, sunroof, bonnet, boot or wheel arch.
- Compare shape and profile. The letters T, Z, L, D, V and B identify profiles listed on the product pages, but on their own they are not a universal compatibility rule.
- Check the cross-section. Check the width, height and other dimensions shown on the product page or in the product images.
- Consider the available length. Compare the length stated on the product page with the area of the vehicle to be treated.
- Check whether adhesive is included. Many rubber car profiles are described as adhesive or fitted with 3M adhesive; do not assume this feature when it is not stated.
- Choose by function. Acoustic insulation, sealing, reduction of dust or water ingress and bodywork protection depend on the specific model.
Frequently asked questions about car seals
How do I choose the right profile?
Compare the application area, the shape of the seat, the cross-section and the product images. Do not choose based only on the profile letter.
Where are car seals fitted?
Depending on the model, the products are intended for doors, windows, windscreen, rear window, sunroof, bonnet, boot, tailgate, wheel arches and door edges.
Does the surface need to be prepared before application?
The product pages generally specify a clean, dry surface; for some products, application on a warm day is also recommended. Always follow the instructions on the individual product page.
Are all the seals self-adhesive?
The application method depends on the model. Many profiles in this category are described as self-adhesive or fitted with adhesive; always check this feature on the page of the chosen product.
