Technical and Functional Characteristics

The door opening cable rod has been manufactured as a part compliant with the vehicle manufacturer's requirements, which translates to accurate length, end fittings, and mounting points. The appropriate stiffness and flexibility of the cable ensure:

• stable force transfer from the handle to the door lock,
• smooth operation without jamming or excessive resistance,
• proper interaction with the factory guides and brackets within the door.

This allows for installation without the need for door structure modifications, enabling the opening system to operate similarly to its original state.

Component Condition and Service Application

The offered rear door opening cable rod is a used part, making it an attractive service solution in case of damage to the original component in the vehicle. This type of component is particularly useful when, due to wear and tear or mechanical intervention, the following has occurred:

• cable breakage or stretching,
• damage to the mounting ends at the handle or lock,
• jams preventing full door opening.

Using an original salvaged cable rod allows for the restoration of correct opening mechanism operation without the need for costly replacement of the entire door assembly.

Benefits of Using an Original BMW Cable Rod

Choosing the BMW F07 GT Tailgate Door Latch Cable Rod primarily ensures compliance with the vehicle's original construction. The original solution provides:

• secure fit with the door lock and handle,
• appropriate cable length and routing within the door structure,
• compatibility with existing mountings and covers.

This minimizes installation time and reduces the risk of issues with opening mechanism adjustment. It is a practical solution for workshops specializing in the BMW brand and for owners who wish to restore full functionality to the rear doors of their F07 GT.
