Product Details
This bumper seal is used to close the gap between the body and bumper, helping maintain the intended interface at the front or rear of the vehicle, depending on application. It is a fitment-based replacement for owners searching for a Dorman bumper seal, OE-style bumper reinforcement aero guard, or a direct replacement body seal for a specific vehicle. The part number 242-6046 is also useful when cross-checking service records or ordering replacement body sealing components for a vehicle such as a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, where precise body fit is important.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Issues This Part Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle application before installation and compare the original seal’s shape, length, and attachment style to Dorman 242-6046. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly so the slotted rubber seal seats correctly.

For fitment-based searches, use the exact part number 242-6046 along with the vehicle make and model when confirming the correct replacement.
