This genuine VAG reinforcement for the striker plate (part number 3J0809612) is engineered to provide crucial structural support to the door latch mechanism. Over time, the striker plate area can experience stress from repeated door opening and closing, potentially leading to misalignment or reduced latching security. This reinforcement plate is designed to counteract these effects, maintaining the integrity of the door frame and ensuring a precise fit for the striker. By reinforcing this key component, you help maintain the factory-standard performance of your vehicle's doors, contributing to a quieter ride, better sealing against the elements, and the confidence of a secure closure every time. Installation is recommended to ensure long-term durability and proper door function.
