NISSAN 90832-VB000 Tailgate Upper Weatherstrip

The genuine OEM NISSAN 90832-VB000 tailgate upper weatherstrip is a premium-quality sealing profile responsible for perfectly sealing the critical gap between the vehicle body and the upper edge of the tailgate.

Key Functions and Importance:

• Moisture Protection: Prevents rainwater, melted snow, and car wash water from entering the luggage compartment, protecting interior upholstery and electrical components from corrosion and mold.
• Contaminant Exclusion: Creates an effective barrier against fine dust, soot, and other environmental contaminants.
• Noise Reduction: Minimizes wind noise and exterior aerodynamic sounds, providing a quieter and more comfortable ride.
• Water Drainage: Thanks to its specialized profile design, it directs water running off the roof into the designated body drainage channels.

Technical Specifications and Material Quality:

• Material: High-density, weather-resistant EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer), offering superior ozone, UV, and aging resistance.
• Temperature Resistance Range: Retains optimal flexibility and sealing capacity under extreme temperature conditions between -40°C and +120°C, preventing brittleness in winter and softening in summer.
• Fitting Position: Tailgate / rear door upper section.
• Design: Manufactured to factory OEM specifications, guaranteeing precise fitment and simple, modification-free installation at original mounting points.

Signs of Wear and Failure:

Rubber seals degrade naturally over time due to environmental influences such as UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. Symptoms indicating replacement is necessary include:

• Moisture or water stains appearing in the luggage compartment or at the rear of the headliner.
• Increased wind noise or whistling sounds when driving at higher speeds.
• Visible cracking, hardening, or crumbling of the rubber surface.
• Deformation, tearing, or detachment of the seal from the metal flange.
