80A 823 124 Center Hood Weatherstrip for 2018 AUDI Q5

80A 823 124 Center Hood Weatherstrip Overview

OE 80A 823 124 identifies the center section of the hood-edge sealing system listed for the 2018 AUDI Q5. The long curved profile should be approved against the original mounting span and center orientation.

Central Hood-Edge Sealing and Compartment Isolation

Across the central hood edge, this strip helps restrict splash, airborne dust and engine-bay noise transfer through the panel gap. Its backing must follow the support contour so the sealing lip compresses consistently when the hood closes.

OE Reference and Application Verification

Check 80A 823 124, the center position and the Q5 production version. Compare total length, curvature, molded end transitions and each fastener location before purchase.
