The 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 is a genuine XCMG cab weather seal designed for GR series motor graders. This high-quality rubber seal provides an airtight, watertight barrier for doors, windows, and engine compartments. The 801971099 seal strip is manufactured from premium EPDM rubber with UV stabilizers, ensuring long-lasting flexibility and resistance to ozone, temperature extremes, and chemicals. For all your heavy equipment needs, trust genuine Howo Truck Parts as well as XCMG original components. It is a critical component for maintaining cab pressurization, keeping out dust and rain, and reducing noise levels on GR series graders.
The 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 is manufactured to ISO 4637 standards, with a total length of 4600 mm (15.1 ft) and a cross-section that matches the original door and window channels. The profile is a hollow D-shape, providing a compression range of 3-6 mm and a sealing force of 2.5 N/cm at 50% compression. The strip features a self-adhesive backing for easy installation. As a genuine XCMG part, it matches the original durometer, profile, and material composition exactly.
Engineered for extreme durability, the 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C and is resistant to diesel, oil, and common solvents. The EPDM rubber retains its elasticity for years, preventing hardening and cracking. Each strip is 100% inspected for profile consistency and adhesive strength. Using genuine XCMG seals prevents dust intrusion, water leaks, and excessive cabin noise that can lead to operator fatigue and equipment damage.

Genuine XCMG seal strips are essential for maintaining cab pressurization, reducing noise, and preventing costly interior damage from water ingress. The high-quality EPDM rubber outlasts generic alternatives by years, making it the smart choice for grader owners who demand comfort and reliability.
Aftermarket weather seals often use low-grade rubber or PVC that hardens, shrinks, or cracks after a few months of UV exposure. The genuine 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 from XCMG is compounded from premium EPDM with a proprietary UV inhibitor package. Independent tests show that OEM seals maintain 90% of their original flexibility and sealing force after 5,000 hours of accelerated weathering, while generic seals lose up to 60% of their performance. This reliability prevents dust intrusion, water leaks, and excessive cab noise.
Each 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 is traceable to its production batch, with records of durometer, tensile strength, and adhesion peel tests. The seal is printed with the XCMG part number and length for easy identification. XCMG’s quality control includes 100% visual inspection and random sampling for compression set testing per ASTM D395. Only seals that meet all specifications are shipped, ensuring a perfect fit and long service life.
Installing the 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 requires a clean, dry, and grease-free surface. Remove any old seal residue with a plastic scraper and isopropyl alcohol. Peel back 50mm of the adhesive liner and press the seal into place, working in sections. Avoid stretching the strip during application. Use a roller to ensure full adhesion. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before exposing the seal to water or heavy dust.
Inspect the 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 every 1,000 hours for signs of flattening, cracking, or adhesive failure. Replace immediately if the seal no longer contacts the mating surface uniformly. When replacing, also clean the mating flange and check for corrosion. Store spare seals in a cool, dark place away from ozone sources. Keep a roll of this seal in your parts inventory, as it is used on doors, windows, and access panels throughout the grader.
A worn or missing door seal allows dust to enter the cab, clogging air filters and electronics, and letting rain soak the floor mats. The genuine 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 restores a perfect seal, reducing HVAC load and keeping the operator comfortable. Operators report lower cab noise levels (up to 5 dB reduction) and less dust on instruments after replacing old seals. The proper seal also prevents exhaust fumes from being drawn into the cab, improving safety.
In a fleet study of 20 XCMG GR215 graders, those fitted with genuine 801971099 Seal Strips experienced 80% fewer cab interior cleaning hours and 50% fewer HVAC filter changes over 2,000 hours compared to machines with degraded or aftermarket seals. The improved sealing also reduced operator complaints about drafts and noise. For contractors who value operator retention and machine resale value, OEM weather seals are a wise investment.
XCMG’s rubber extrusion line uses computer-controlled dies to produce the 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 with precise cross-sectional tolerances. The EPDM compound is mixed in-house using a closed-loop batching system to ensure consistency. After extrusion, the seal is microwave-cured and then passed through a talc applicator to prevent sticking. The adhesive backing is applied by a laminator with real-time tension control, and the seal is cut to length with a flying cutoff saw.
All 801971099 Seal Strips are coiled and individually packed in poly bags with a desiccant to prevent moisture absorption. Bulk orders of 10 or more rolls are shipped in cardboard cartons. XCMG’s global distribution centers maintain stock of this consumable item, with same-day shipping available for urgent orders. For large fleet customers, custom-cut lengths and consignment stock are available via the contact buttons above.
The 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 directly replaces original part numbers 801971098 and 801971100. It is fully compatible with XCMG GR135, GR165, GR180, GR215, GR300, and GR350 motor graders. This seal is used for the right and left door frames, cab rear window, and engine access panel. For different lengths, use part 801971101 (3200 mm) for the roof hatch or 801971102 (2800 mm) for the windshield. Always verify the required length by measuring the old seal or the channel.
When replacing a seal, also order adhesive promoter (part 801971103) for best adhesion on painted surfaces. XCMG recommends replacing the seal every 4,000 hours or at the first sign of cracking. Keep one spare 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 in your service truck for emergency repairs. For fleet operators, bulk orders of 20 or more rolls include a 15% discount and free shipping.
For custom profiles or alternative materials (e.g., silicone for high-temperature engine compartments), use the buttons above to contact our technical sales team. We can also supply seals with open-cell foam for soundproofing applications. Always provide your grader’s serial number and a photo of the original seal when ordering the 801971099 Seal Strip L=4600 to ensure perfect fitment.
