• precise positioning of the latch relative to the body pillar,
• adaptation to work with the vehicle's factory electrical installation.

Thanks to the original design intended for BMW, the component maintains appropriate rigidity, resistance to temperature changes, and repeatability of operation over a long period of use. BMW F06 Door Lock Latch Front Right O/S Soft Close Door Lock Catch has been designed to work with factory comfort controllers, which minimizes the risk of communication errors and central locking problems.
