Woven pile Weatherstrip Profile

Dense fibres rise from a narrow woven backing and flex independently at a moving interface. This page identifies a generic family and the measurements needed to compare sites; it does not identify an exact replacement.

Do not infer: Do not infer backing width, pile height or carrier fit from the word 'pile'. No exact product compatibility, OEM identity, material chemistry, generation or supersession is implied.

Measurement workflow

  1. Stabilize the sample without stretching or deliberate compression.
  2. Choose and record the mounting/base datum.
  3. Record the tool and actual resolution before dimensions.
  4. Measure the base/interface before the soft sealing element.
  5. Capture relaxed geometry with minimal pressure.
  6. Measure the receiver separately when accessible.
  7. Record contact motion, insertion/compression direction, sample condition and uncertainty.
  8. Keep compatibility separate: geometry may narrow sites but does not prove fit.

Source-backed evidence only. This page does not broaden the scope of the cited sources.

Scope rule: Measurements, generic profile identification and exact replacement fit are kept separate. Use cited sources and your receiver geometry before making a fit decision.
