Purpose and function of the component

The presented air duct is mounted in the front, right part of the body, in the scuttle area, where it is responsible for directing airflow and protecting the space under the windshield from excessive dirt. A correctly selected and installed component helps maintain proper operating conditions in the scuttle area, which is important for both aerodynamics and the protection of components located in this zone.

Compatibility and fitment

As a part designed for BMW G22 and G26 models, the air duct has been engineered for specific body geometry, ensuring:

• precise fit with the edge of the windshield and adjacent covers,
• stable mounting at factory installation points,
• preservation of the factory scuttle line and aesthetic appearance.

Such fitment reduces the risk of unwanted vibrations, leaks, and improper airflow in the scuttle area.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered air duct is a used part, sourced from dismantling, which allows for maintaining the original BMW specification while optimizing repair costs. A used component of this type is a good solution in situations where mechanical damage to the scuttle, cracking of the duct, or deformation after a collision has occurred, and the priority is to maintain the factory design and compatibility with other covers.

Application in the repair process

Replacement of the air duct in the scuttle area is recommended, among other things, after:

• damage to the front part of the body,
• windshield removal with accompanying cracks in the covers,
• detection of leaks or missing elements in the scuttle area.

Selecting an original right-side air duct allows for restoring the correct airflow path and the aesthetics of the scuttle without the need to use replacements with uncertain fitment.
