Purpose and function in the tailgate system
The presented mount is dedicated to the left side of the vehicle and works with the tailgate strut in the BMW F45 Active Tourer series. It is responsible for stable guidance of the strut, maintaining the correct operating axis, and transferring loads to the body structure. Thanks to this, the tailgate opens smoothly, without jamming, and the strut does not operate at an unfavorable angle.
This element is particularly important in the event of play, squeaking, uneven lifting of the tailgate, or visible damage in the mounting area. Replacing a worn bracket with an original mount allows for restoring the correct operation of the entire tailgate lifting system.
Construction and fitment for BMW F45 Active Tourer
The mount has been designed for the specific body geometry of the BMW F45 Active Tourer, which translates into a secure fit with factory mounting points. Properly shaped contact surfaces and designated spots for bolts or pins (in accordance with the factory design) facilitate installation and minimize the risk of improper strut alignment.
The original BMW origin means maintaining factory dimensional tolerances, which is crucial for the durability of the connection and the even distribution of forces acting on the tailgate. As a result, after replacement, you can achieve stable, repeatable operation of the mechanism without the need for additional modifications.
Performance characteristics and installation
As a structural and mounting element, the tailgate strut mount operates under conditions of variable mechanical loads and exposure to moisture and contaminants. Using an original bracket helps reduce the risk of cracks, socket wear, or excessive play, which could lead to damage to the strut or the tailgate itself.
During replacement, it is recommended to:
- check the condition of the strut itself and the opposite mount,
- inspect the mounting points on the body for corrosion and deformation,
- apply appropriate tightening torques in accordance with BMW service documentation.
This approach allows you to utilize the full potential of the part and ensure longer, stable operation of the entire tailgate lifting system.
Condition of the part and benefits of choosing a used component
The offered mount comes from the secondary market, which allows you to combine reasonable repair costs with maintaining the manufacturer’s original specifications. In the case of structural elements of this type, choosing a used part is often an economical and technically justified solution, provided the condition is properly verified before installation.
If you want to better prepare for choosing components from the secondary market and avoid common mistakes when assembling body or accessory parts, it is worth checking out the guide: Buying used car parts – the most common mistakes when choosing tuning parts. You will find practical tips there that help in consciously selecting used components.
