MOLDURA DE ALETA

The Body Molding / Trim Strip (Chery OEM 602002824AA) is a decorative and functional exterior trim component in the Chery 6020-028xx body part series. In automotive nomenclature, a molding is a formed plastic, rubber, or chrome-finished strip or surround that frames, seals, or decorates a body aperture, bumper edge, or panel junction. On Chery Tiggo and Arrizo platforms, this series number is associated with bumper-area moldings, grille surrounds, lower bumper trim strips, and similar exterior accents that form part of the bumper assembly’s visual design. The molding provides a finished appearance at panel-to-panel joints, covers structural attachment brackets, and in some positions acts as a minor seal against water and debris ingress at the lower fascia edge.

Chery exterior moldings on current Tiggo and Arrizo platforms use three primary materials depending on position and trim level. ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is used for painted or gloss-black decorative strips that must hold paint adherently and resist UV degradation — common on bumper lower trims, side skirt accents, and grille surrounds. PP+EPDM is used for larger flexible trim elements and lower bumper valance inserts. ABS with chrome-effect coating (vacuum metallised ABS) is used for bright nickel or chrome strip accents on bumper fascias and grille frames. The finish on the replacement 602002824AA matches the OEM finish for the applicable position.

On Chery models in the 2019–2024 period (Tiggo 4 Pro, Tiggo 7 Pro, Tiggo 8, Arrizo 8), bumper moldings commonly include lower grille trim strips, licence plate recess surrounds, fog lamp bezels, side reflector frames, and vertical air intake accent trims. Each is a separate OEM part number within the bumper assembly. The 602002824AA sits within the 6020-028xx family adjacent to bumper numbers 602002820AA and similar, indicating it is a trim component associated with that bumper assembly. The 602002824AA sits within the 6020-028xx family adjacent to bumper numbers 602002820AA and similar, indicating it is a trim component associated with that bumper assembly.

Exterior body moldings serve a combination of aesthetic and functional roles that are easy to underestimate. Aesthetically, the precise profile of a gloss-black lower bumper strip, chrome grille surround, or colour-matched body-side molding defines the vehicle’s visual lines — a replacement molding with slightly different surface finish, tighter curves, or incorrect chrome brightness is immediately visible in direct light and devalues the vehicle’s appearance. Functionally, correctly seated moldings seal minor panel joints against wind noise and water intrusion, cover fastener heads that would otherwise be exposed, and in some cases carry ambient lighting strips or sensors integrated into the molding body itself.

Chery’s OEM-equivalent grade moldings for the 6020-series are produced using the same tooling specifications as the original parts, matching the exact clip tower spacing, surface curvature, snap-fit geometry, and finish quality required for correct installation and appearance. OEM-equivalent grade ensures the part passes Chery’s dimensional and finish standards without the premium price of a dealer-sourced genuine part — making it the appropriate choice for collision repair, fleet maintenance, and bodyshop stock supply at wholesale quantities. For importers and distributors supplying Chery parts in markets where the brand is growing — Middle East, Russia and CIS, Latin America, Africa — stocking the complete bumper trim set including all moldings ensures single-delivery collision repair capability without back-orders on individual trim items.

The Chery OEM part number 602002824AA sits within the 6020-028xx bumper and trim series. Based on its position in the Chery numbering sequence relative to nearby bumper assembly numbers (602002820AA, 602002824AA), this component is a trim molding forming part of the bumper assembly for the applicable Chery Tiggo or Arrizo model. The specific model assignment is confirmed via the Chery official EPC (Electronic Parts Catalogue) with VIN input.

To confirm fitment, use the Chery EPC available through authorised Chery dealers and approved aftermarket catalogue systems, or contact ok.parts with the complete 17-digit VIN. The ok.parts team can retrieve the vehicle’s exact parts BOM and confirm that 602002824AA is the correct replacement for the specific vehicle production year, market, and trim level.

Difficulty: Easy. Body moldings are typically retained by push-fit plastic clips, double-sided adhesive tape, or threaded studs with push-on nuts depending on their position. Most Chery exterior moldings can be replaced without special tools beyond a trim removal pry tool. Estimated time: 10–30 minutes.

1. 1
   Photograph the original molding in situ before removal — document the precise position relative to adjacent trim, the clip locations, and any adhesive tape lines. Note whether the original is bonded with 3M-type body tape (continuous adhesive backing) or retained purely by push-fit clips, as this determines the correct installation method for the replacement.
2. 2
   Remove the original molding carefully. For clip-retained moldings, use a flat plastic pry tool to release clips progressively from one end — do not lever from the middle as this cracks the molding at the lever point. For adhesive-retained moldings, warm the surface with a heat gun at 40–60°C to soften the adhesive before peeling the molding away from the body with a plastic wire or dental floss to cut the adhesive bond progressively.
3. 3
   Prepare the body surface at the molding location. Remove all old adhesive residue with adhesive remover solvent (do not use solvent on painted surfaces without testing for paint safety first). Clean the surface with IPA panel wipe. For clip-retained moldings, inspect the clip mounting holes in the body panel or bumper for damage. Replace any damaged or missing clip receptacles.
4. 4
   Install the new 602002824AA molding. For clip-retained moldings: align the molding carefully against the reference marks and press each clip home progressively from one end. For adhesive-retained moldings: apply new 3M 5952 double-sided tape to the back of the molding in the same pattern as the original adhesive, peel the release liner, align the molding precisely using a reference line or tape guide on the body surface, and press firmly along the full length. Allow adhesive to cure for 24 hours before washing or exposure to water.
5. 5
   Verify fit and finish. Check that the molding sits flush against the adjacent body panel with no gaps or raised edges. At the ends, confirm the molding termination profile aligns with the adjacent trim component. Confirm there is no wind-noise gap at the molding lower edge by inspecting with a torch.
