Product description

Samples of the door glass seal assembly and of the two components used to construct the seal assembly were included with your request. Final Door Glass Seal Assembly Part #K207-835 is designed for use on a semi-truck tractor as a door glass channel seal. It measures 20.75 inches in length and is constructed of two separate components: a plastic clip component identified as Part #2120 and a seal component identified as Part #75000183. These two sub-components are further worked and joined together by inserting the seal component into the plastic clip component and applying pressure using a manual press. The resulting assembly allows the seal component to be attached to a truck with the clip holding the assembly in place. The plastic clip component is composed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. The seal component consists of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber reinforced with a steel strip. The rubber is flocked with felt on the flap and along the end.
