Buy Golf Mk 7 – O/S/F Water Deflector Strip – 5G0 854 328 B 5AP – Genuine Volkswagen Parts in Stock
Keep your Golf Mk 7’s exterior trim looking factory-fresh and protected from the elements with the Genuine Volkswagen O/S/F (Off-Side/Front) Water Deflector Strip (Part Number: 5G0 854 328 B 5AP). This authentic trim piece serves as a critical barrier, preventing water and debris from accumulating in the door gaps and protecting your vehicle’s finish.
Product Overview
The water deflector strip, located on the exterior of the door, is often the first component to show signs of aging. Exposure to car washes, road grit, and extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the original strip to warp, crack, or lose its factory luster. This Genuine Volkswagen (OEM) water deflector strip is a direct replacement, finished in the correct color code (5AP – Satin Black) to match the other exterior trims on your Golf Mk 7 perfectly.
Choosing a genuine OEM part ensures that the material composition, flexibility, and clips are identical to your vehicle’s original specifications, guaranteeing a seamless fit that sits flush against the bodywork.

Performance & Aesthetic Benefits
-
Factory-Fresh Aesthetic: Instantly replaces faded, cracked, or warped trim, restoring the clean lines of your Golf’s exterior.

Moisture Protection: Maintains the integrity of the door-to-body seal, preventing water from trapping dirt in the frame gaps.
-
Perfect OEM Integration: Manufactured to Volkswagen’s strict tolerances, ensuring the strip clips into the door perfectly without the need for messy adhesives.

Build Quality & Engineering
When you purchase Genuine Volkswagen Exterior Trim, you are getting a part engineered to withstand years of exposure. Unlike third-party alternatives that often use weak clips or low-quality plastics that turn grey over time, this genuine strip is UV-stabilized and finished with a durable satin black coating that matches the surrounding exterior trim. It is designed for longevity, maintaining its shape and secure fit through repeated thermal expansion and contraction.

Carefully unclip the old, damaged strip from the door edge using a plastic trim tool.

Clean the mounting surface to remove any road grime.
-
