Purpose and function of the component

The third brake light cover trim has been designed specifically for the rear section of the BMW G30, in the interior rear window area. Its purpose is to:

• cover the third brake light structure from the passenger cabin side,
• visually organize the rear interior section,
• reduce the visibility of wires and mounting points of the light module,
• maintain a consistent stylistic line with other upholstery elements.

Thanks to its dedicated shape, the cover works with the factory third brake light without affecting its effectiveness or the visibility of the braking signal.

Alcantara material and finish

The surface of the cover is finished with Alcantara material, characteristic of higher BMW equipment versions. This type of upholstery:

• increases the perceived quality of the interior thanks to its soft, pleasant-to-the-touch texture,
• reduces light reflections in the rear part of the cabin,
• helps maintain a uniform color and texture with other trim elements.

Choosing an original Alcantara cover is particularly beneficial when upgrading the interior from a standard version to a more advanced one, similar to sport or luxury packages.

Installation in the rear of the vehicle

The component is intended for installation in the rear interior zone, in the immediate vicinity of the third brake light. The cover's design is prepared for factory mounting points, which facilitates:

• removal of old upholstery and installation of the new one as part of standard service work,
• maintaining proper fitment with the rear window and side upholstery elements,
• reducing unwanted vibrations and noise while driving.

When replacing, it is worth paying attention to the correct seating of all clips to fully utilize the factory fitment of the component.

Application in service and retrofitting

The Alcantara third brake light cover is suitable both for standard repairs after upholstery damage and for upgrading the BMW G30 interior to a higher specification. It can be used as:

• a replacement for a worn or damaged factory component,
• a complementary part when replacing the third brake light,
• a component in interior retrofitting projects for a more advanced finish.
