Purpose and Technical Function

The presented seat catch is a locking mechanism element in the rear left interior of a BMW. It is responsible for the precise connection of the backrest to the body, allowing for secure locking or unlocking of the seat when folding the rear bench. Thanks to its factory geometry and fit to the body structure, the proper connection stiffness and lock operation repeatability are maintained.

As an original BMW part, the catch works with the factory backrest release mechanism, ensuring:

• stable holding of the backrest in the working position,
• correct latching with every closure,
• consistent operation with other elements of the rear bench folding system.

Construction and Mounting Fit

The Striker Lock is designed for installation in the rear left zone of the vehicle, considering the specific geometry of the BMW G-series body. The construction of the bracket and hook works with the factory seat lock, allowing for the correct backrest position and even load distribution during driving.

The original origin of the component means that:

• mounting points are compatible with factory holes in the body,
• no modifications or shape adjustments are necessary,
• the mechanism works with standard seat rails and locks.

This makes installation predictable and reduces the risk of play or improper backrest closure.

Condition, Safety, and Service Application

The component is from a dismantled vehicle and is offered as a used OEM component, allowing for economical repair of the rear seat locking system while maintaining original quality of workmanship. This type of part is particularly useful in situations where mechanical damage to the catch, wear and tear, or problems with proper backrest latching have occurred.

Replacing the catch is recommended when symptoms such as:

• lack of secure backrest locking after folding,
• noticeable play in the rear part of the seat,
• difficulty in unlocking or re-latching the mechanism.

Using an original component from the Internal Locks and Latches group allows for restoring the correct operation of the rear bench folding system without interfering with the interior structure.

Benefits of Choosing an Original BMW Internal Lock

By choosing this seat catch, you gain:

• factory fit for the rear left part of the vehicle,
• consistency with other elements of the seat locking system,
