Purpose and function of the tailgate hinge

The presented hinge is a mounting and guiding component for the rear tailgate on the right side of the vehicle. It is responsible for:

• stable support of the tailgate during opening and closing,
• maintaining the correct axis of rotation and geometry of the rear body section,
• proper interaction with the tailgate actuators, lock, and seals.

Thanks to a design that meets BMW factory standards, the hinge ensures proper fitment with the bodywork and other components of the tailgate opening system.

Color and visual fit

The Schwarz 2 - 668 finish allows for color consistency with original body parts. This is particularly important in areas visible after opening the tailgate, where color differences could detract from the vehicle's aesthetics. Using original paint also facilitates any potential bodywork and painting tasks, reducing the need for additional color matching.

Vehicle placement and installation aspects

The hinge is intended for installation in the rear part of the body on the right side. This placement requires maintaining appropriate rigidity and resistance to loads resulting from the weight of the tailgate and the operation of the gas springs. The component is designed to work with factory mounting points, which facilitates installation in workshop and service conditions.

As a part from the Gas springs, locks, hinges, and other parts group, the hinge works with other components of the tailgate opening system, influencing the comfort of use and the safety of vehicle operation.

Characteristics of the used product

The item is offered as a used part, meaning it comes from vehicle dismantling and may show signs of normal wear. This type of component is an attractive solution for workshops and individual users who are looking for factory fitment while maintaining reasonable repair costs. The original hinge ensures proper geometry and compatibility with the body structure, which is crucial for post-collision repairs or replacing worn-out elements.

Support in selection and additional materials

When selecting used body components, such as hinges, locks, or gas springs, it is worth using the manufacturer's markings and vehicle data to avoid compatibility issues.
