The tailgate is the rear cover of the bodywork that provides access to the luggage compartment. It is available in both upward-opening versions (hatchbacks, station wagons, and SUVs) and side-opening versions (e.g., in delivery vans).

What is a door seal for?

The door seal is responsible for the cabin's airtightness—insulating against water, dust, and noise. The Audi A3 8P featured different seal versions depending on the model year and body type.

What is the difference between a door sill strip and a door sill strip?

The door sill trim (e.g. Passat B6) protects and decorates the lower part of the door, while the door sill trim is attached to the sill and further strengthens the bodywork.

How long does it take to replace car doors?

The average time to replace a complete door is approximately 2 hours. In the case of sliding doors (e.g., Renault Trafic), the operation may take longer due to the guide mechanism.

How do I check door compatibility with my car?

The most reliable method is to verify the VIN. This helps avoid situations where doors from a similar model have different mounting points.

Can I buy doors from a different body version?

Partly yes – for example, the front doors in the Passat B6 sedan and station wagon are identical, but the rear doors are different.

Do doors and hatches need to be painted after purchase?

Not always. If you can find a part in the same color and paint code, painting isn't necessary. Otherwise, painting ensures a complete visual match.

Doors and trunk lids – original parts for your car

Used doors and tailgates for BMW, Audi, Mini, Volkswagen, Mercedes and others: the best quality at an attractive price

Doors, trunk lids, and tailgates are not only body parts that give a car an elegant appearance, but above all, components responsible for the safety and comfort of the vehicle. From the robust structure of the doors to the practical solutions associated with the trunk lids, each of these components must be fully functional for your vehicle to operate flawlessly. At the Global Parts automotive store, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts , including doors, trunk lids, and tailgates for brands such as BMW , Audi , Volkswagen , Mercedes , Mini , and others.

What components are included in the doors, trunk lids and tailgates?

Doors, trunk lids, and tailgates consist of many important parts that combine to ensure their functionality and durability. Key elements include:

2. Doors and door sheets – Key bodywork components that protect the vehicle interior and ensure comfort of use.

Door handles – Responsible for opening and closing doors, available in various versions (mechanical, electric).
Door seals – They protect the interior against water, noise and dust, improving the vehicle’s acoustic insulation.
Sliding doors – Mainly used in vans and delivery vehicles, providing convenient entry and saving space.
Gas springs, locks, hinges and other parts – They are responsible for the smooth operation of the doors, trunk lids and hood, ensuring convenient opening and closing.

Strips, seals and fittings – They protect against water, dust and noise, while giving the elements an elegant appearance. Each of these components must be made of materials resistant to corrosion, mechanical damage and weather conditions.

Definitions and examples of door parts

A car door is a set of elements that includes not only the outer sheet metal, but also the seal (e.g. Audi A3 8P door seal), the handle (e.g. Renault Trafic rear door handle), the glass, the lifting mechanism and decorative elements such as strips . (e.g. Passat B6 door trim). For many models, full compatibility is essential – for example, the Audi A3 8L lower door trim only fits a specific generation of that model and will not be interchangeable with the newer 8P version.

Why is it worth taking care of doors, trunk lids and tailgates?

Regular maintenance and replacement of damaged door, trunk, and hatch components is key to maintaining the vehicle's aesthetics and functionality. Neglecting these parts can lead to:

Difficulty opening and closing doors or trunk lids.
Loss of seal, which may cause water or noise to enter the vehicle interior.
Corrosion and structural weakening, which reduces the safety and value of the vehicle. At the Global Parts store we offer original used car parts , which allow for quick and effective repair of these elements.

Technical parameters and compatibility

Door and trunk fit is determined by technical parameters such as hinge spacing, mounting hole dimensions, and door handle mounting type . For example, the side doors in the Renault Trafic II (2001–2014) have different mountings than the post-2015 versions, even though they look similar. Meanwhile, in the Passat B6 (2005–2010), door trims come in different variants, depending on the body style (sedan/wagon). Therefore, you should always consider fit based on the VIN or manufacturer's specifications.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about car doors, trunk lids and tailgates

Question	Answer
What is a trunk lid?	The tailgate is the rear cover of the bodywork that provides access to the luggage compartment. It is available in both upward-opening versions (hatchbacks, station wagons, and SUVs) and side-opening versions (e.g., in delivery vans).
What is a door seal for?	The door seal is responsible for the cabin's airtightness—insulating against water, dust, and noise. The Audi A3 8P featured different seal versions depending on the model year and body type.
What is the difference between a door sill strip and a door sill strip?	The door sill trim (e.g. Passat B6) protects and decorates the lower part of the door, while the door sill trim is attached to the sill and further strengthens the bodywork.
How long does it take to replace car doors?	The average time to replace a complete door is approximately 2 hours. In the case of sliding doors (e.g., Renault Trafic), the operation may take longer due to the guide mechanism.
How do I check door compatibility with my car?	The most reliable method is to verify the VIN. This helps avoid situations where doors from a similar model have different mounting points.
Can I buy doors from a different body version?	Partly yes – for example, the front doors in the Passat B6 sedan and station wagon are identical, but the rear doors are different.
Do doors and hatches need to be painted after purchase?	Not always. If you can find a part in the same color and paint code, painting isn't necessary. Otherwise, painting ensures a complete visual match.
