Purpose and function of the tailgate seal

The presented seal is dedicated to the rear body section, where it is responsible for the tightness of the connection between the trunk lid and the bodywork. A properly selected and installed seal:

• limits the ingress of water and moisture into the luggage compartment,
• reduces noise and wind roar in the rear part of the cabin,
• stabilizes the position of the lid during closing, improving the operation of the lock,
• reduces the risk of corrosion around the edges of the lid and the trunk sill.

Thanks to a design consistent with BMW factory standards, the seal works with the original mounting points and body geometry, which facilitates installation and allows for maintaining the technical consistency of the entire rear zone of the vehicle.

Benefits of using an original BMW seal

Using an original tailgate seal in the BMW 5 F07 GT model allows for maintaining sealing and comfort parameters close to factory levels. In practice, this means:

• better protection of the trunk upholstery against moisture and dirt,
• reduction of window fogging from the rear of the vehicle,
• more stable closing of the lid, without the need for excessive pressure,
• preservation of the correct body line at the point of contact between the lid and the bodywork.

The used original component is a good choice when you want to maintain compatibility with factory solutions while optimizing the costs of repairing the rear body section.

Installation characteristics and fitment

The Tailgate Seal BMW F07 GT Boot Trunk Lid Gasket Seal Strip has been designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, using factory routing and mounting points. Proper placement of the seal around the perimeter of the trunk opening allows for:

• even pressure of the lid around the entire perimeter,
• avoidance of local leaks and air drafts,
• preservation of the correct operation of the lock and lid actuators.

During installation, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the body edges and check the condition of the contact surface to fully utilize the sealing properties of the component and achieve a stable effect for a longer time.

Application in service and body repairs

The tailgate seal in the BMW 5 F07 GT is an important element in body and paint work as well as when removing the effects of operational wear of the rear body section. It is particularly useful in situations where:

• water leaks into the trunk occur after rain or car washes,
• air noise appears at higher speeds,
• the trunk lid closes unevenly or requires excessive force,
• after body repair, it is necessary to restore factory tightness.

Thanks to the preservation of the original seal geometry, it is possible to restore the correct operating conditions of the rear body section without interfering with the vehicle's structure.
