Where to Buy the Door Waterproof Panel for the Old Lavida?
2 Answers
You can purchase it both in physical stores and online. Below is the relevant introduction about the Lavida: 1. Exterior Design: The front face design of the Lavida differs significantly from previous Volkswagen A-segment models, especially with its unique teardrop-shaped headlights. In terms of body line design, the Lavida features quite sharp waistlines while retaining a side profile similar to the Octavia. The biggest advantage of this design is that it facilitates the entry and exit of rear passengers. The 2610mm wheelbase also ensures comfortable rear seating space in the Lavida. 2. Powertrain: The Lavida offers two engine options: a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.4TSI engine. For the transmission system, the 1.4T engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.6L model comes with a combination of a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade. The door waterproof panel on the old Lavida is damaged, allowing water to seep into the door panel, which can easily cause rust or window regulator failure. It must be replaced promptly. You can purchase original parts at Shanghai Volkswagen's 4S dealership—they're reliable in quality but slightly more expensive, usually costing around two to three hundred yuan. Alternatively, check out local auto parts markets, where there are many aftermarket parts stores. When selecting, pay attention to comparing material thickness to ensure it fits your door model—avoid buying ones that are too thin, as they may leak again. Online channels are also convenient, such as the Tuhu Maintenance APP or JD.com's automotive section—just enter your car model and year to search, and there are often promotional offers. When replacing, it's recommended to clean the dirt from the door panel sealing area to ensure the new panel adheres properly. Regularly checking for water accumulation inside the door can prevent this issue and extend the door's lifespan.
