Purpose and Function of the Part

The presented tailgate strut mount is dedicated for installation at the rear of the body, on the left side. It is responsible for rigid, axial guidance of the gas strut end, ensuring the tailgate maintains its correct position throughout its range of motion. A correctly selected and installed bracket minimizes the risk of play, unwanted vibrations, and uneven load on the hinges.

Construction and Fit for BMW

As a part originating from the BMW group, the mount has been designed for specific mounting points on the body, adhering to factory tolerances. This means:

• secure seating in original mounting holes,
• proper guidance of the strut relative to the tailgate's pivot axis,
• maintenance of the tailgate's factory operating geometry.

This precise fit limits the need for additional modifications and allows for installation in accordance with the manufacturer's service documentation.

Mounting Location: Rear – Left Side

The location of the mount at the rear left of the vehicle is significant for both the safety and durability of the entire tailgate lifting system. The part works in conjunction with the gas strut and the tailgate structure, transferring loads generated during opening and closing. Correct side selection is crucial to:

• ensure symmetrical operation of both struts (if present on both sides),
• prevent twisting of the tailgate structure during lifting,
• maintain proper alignment of the tailgate with the rear of the vehicle.

Benefits of Using an Original Mount

Using an original strut mount in the rear tailgate area allows for the preservation of the system's factory operating parameters. The most important benefits include:

• stable strut mounting – reducing the risk of the end popping out or damaging the socket,
• repeatable geometry – the tailgate lifts and lowers according to the manufacturer's specifications,
• compatibility with BMW bodywork – no need for custom adapters or body modifications.

Application in Service and Body Repairs

The left-side tailgate strut mount is particularly important for accident repairs, tailgate replacement, or gas strut replacement. Replacing a damaged bracket with an original part restores the correct operation of the entire lifting mechanism, which is important from both a usability perspective and for subsequent adjustments of the vehicle's rear end alignment.
