Purpose and Function in the BMW Body

The rear right gutter seal trim operates in the rear body area, in direct proximity to the trunk lid. Its functions include:

• sealing critical edges in the rear zone of the vehicle,
• protecting the trunk interior from water and dirt ingress,
• providing stable guidance for the water drainage gutter,
• shielding body panels from accelerated corrosion.

Thanks to its precise fit for the BMW F07's specific construction, this part integrates with the factory body stampings, contributing to the correct tailgate geometry and consistent closing repeatability.

Construction, Color, and Fitment

The seal is designed as a dedicated component for installation in the rear, left part of the vehicle, maintaining the correct working profile and mounting points. Its black color is consistent with BMW's factory sealing aesthetics, ensuring the part blends visually with other body components. The design intended for the trunk lid area allows for:

• proper adhesion to body panels and plastic surfaces,
• compatibility with factory linings and covers,
• maintaining the aesthetic line of the rear vehicle edges.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Seal

Using the original gutter seal in a BMW F07 allows for the preservation of parameters set by the vehicle manufacturer. For the user, this means:

• factory-perfect fit for the specific body version,
• reduced risk of leaks in the rear of the car,
• no need for modifications to mounting points or profile trimming,
• visual consistency with other parts from the Trunk Lid & Rear group.

This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, body renovations, or restoring full functionality to the tailgate after the removal of other components.

Characteristics of a Used Part

The offered seal is a used part, sourced from disassembly, which allows for maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications while reducing repair costs. A used OEM part is a good choice wherever compliance with the factory design is important, and there's no need to invest in a new part. Such components are frequently used in professional workshops specializing in BMW body repairs.
