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.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address
