The black color of the housing ensures a neutral, factory appearance and allows for an aesthetically pleasing integration with the existing trunk setup and plastic and metal elements in this zone. The design intended for this generation of BMW promotes proper alignment with adjacent parts, minimizing the risk of installation stress and leaks.

• maintaining original geometry and mounting points,
• easier installation in place of a damaged or missing part,
• preserving the visual consistency of the rear body section.

Prior to installation, standard inspection of the surface condition and mounting points is recommended to ensure the water drainage system's tightness and proper function.

• reduction of moisture in the upholstery and trim elements in the rear of the BMW F07 GT.

A properly functioning water drainage system is crucial for the long-term operation of the vehicle, especially for cars used year-round in varying weather conditions.
