Intended Use and Function of the Part

The presented outer seal for the right rear window is dedicated to the facelifted (LCI) BMW E61 versions and operates at the junction of the window and the door panel. It is responsible for:

• preventing water and dirt from entering the door interior,
• providing stable window guidance during raising and lowering,
• reducing wind noise around the rear of the body,
• creating a visually cohesive side line finish with the Shadow Line package.

Thanks to its factory profile and specific model fitment, the part maintains the correct door edge geometry and improves acoustic comfort in the rear cabin.

Original BMW Shadow Line Construction

The seal is part of the original High Gloss Shadow Line trim system, meaning its shape, color, and gloss are consistent with factory BMW styling. The materials and decorative layer used are selected to:

• maintain a uniform shade and gloss with other Shadow Line trims,
• resist UV radiation and typical weather conditions,
• minimize the risk of deformation due to temperature changes.

This precise fit allows for a consistent appearance of the side window line, without color or texture differences between individual components.

Installation on the Rear Right Door

This part is designed for installation in the rear right door area, facilitating correct vehicle side identification during service work. The seal's construction is prepared to work with the factory window mechanism and door panel, ensuring:

• maintained factory adhesion lines to the window,
• no need for door edge modifications,
• the ability to restore original sealing in the window area.

Proper placement on the vehicle promotes quick fitting of the part when replacing a damaged or worn seal.

Characteristics of a Used OEM Part

The offered part is a used, original BMW component, which means it retains factory geometry, profile, and compatibility with the E61 LCI body. In practice, this translates to:

• secure fitment with the door frame and window,
• no need for adjustments or trimming,
• preservation of the manufacturer-intended sealing line.
