Purpose and function of the component

The right roof moulding plays a crucial role in finishing the upper part of the body, closing the roofline and working in conjunction with the railing structure. In the case of the BMW E81/E87, it is responsible for the aesthetic connection between the roof panels and the side of the body, as well as for proper water drainage along the edge. Using a dedicated component for the right side ensures a proper fit to the factory mounting points.

Color and visual fit

The Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 finish allows for maintaining a uniform body style without the need for additional painting, provided it is matched to the existing paintwork. The metallic color is characteristic of sport-styled BMW 1 Series models, allowing the moulding to harmonize with the vehicle's side and roof lines.

Technical characteristics and installation

The roof moulding is designed as a component dedicated to the right side of the vehicle, which facilitates installation into factory mounting points without the need for modifications. The OEM construction ensures compliance with the roof geometry, proper adhesion to the edges, and compatibility with other finishing elements from the Doors and door panels group. The used nature of the part allows for an economical replacement of a damaged component while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.

Practical application

The component is particularly useful in situations where the right roof moulding has been damaged or deformed, e.g., as a result of a collision, improper installation of roof accessories, or spot corrosion. Replacing it with an original moulding allows you to restore:

• the continuity of the roofline and the side of the body,
• color consistency with the Le Mans Blau Metallic - 381 paint,
• proper fitment with the doors and adjacent elements.

Benefits of choosing an original, used moulding

Using an original BMW component from the secondary market is a cost-effective solution while maintaining factory geometry and build quality. A used roof moulding helps reduce body repair expenses while maintaining compatibility with other body parts. Combined with proper installation, it provides a solid base for further body and paint work in the area of the roof and the upper part of the doors.
