Purpose and function of the tailgate trim insert

The described tailgate trim insert is dedicated to the rear, right section of the tailgate in the Ford Kuga Mk1 model. Its purpose is to cover the internal structure of the tailgate, guide the edges of the upholstery, and organize the space around the latch and installations located in this area. Thanks to its precise profile, the component ensures proper fitment with the remaining boot linings, which translates into a reduction of unwanted vibrations and noise while driving.
