Purpose and function of the rear window lock

The presented lock is a component of the locking system in the rear body section, responsible for securely closing the tailgate glass. A properly functioning mechanism:

• keeps the glass in a stable position while driving,
• ensures correct closing and opening of the tailgate,
• works in harmony with factory BMW body systems,
• reduces the risk of play, rattling, and leaks in the rear of the vehicle.

By maintaining the original geometry and mounting points, the lock is perfectly matched to the Touring tailgate construction, which facilitates installation and helps maintain consistent operation of the entire rear window assembly.

Construction and fitment for BMW Touring LCI

The Rear Window Lock BMW F11 F31 LCI Touring has been designed as a factory component, compatible with the tailgate construction in post-facelift versions. This means:

• preservation of original mounting points in the rear body section,
• adaptation to the standard electrical and mechanical installation,
• proper cooperation with hinges, actuators, and other tailgate components.

Such fitment eliminates the need for modifications, and installation is limited to replacing the part in the location of the factory lock, which is beneficial for both professional workshops and individual users.

• the possibility of using a pre-owned component as a service solution with an excellent cost-to-functionality ratio,
