Purpose and fitment for BMW i3

The seal has been designed specifically for the rear right door wing of the BMW i3, taking into account the characteristic body construction of this model. The appropriate shaping of the working cross-section ensures proper adhesion to the door frame and body, which translates into a stable fitment of the component after installation.

Thanks to its factory origin from the BMW range, key geometric parameters such as working length, bending radii, and routing points are maintained, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of leaks in the rear right zone.

Sealing function and interior protection

The door seal performs several important operational functions:

• limits the penetration of water and moisture into the vehicle interior in the rear right cabin area,
• reduces the ingress of dust and fine contaminants from the outside,
• supports acoustic insulation, reducing wind noise and tire noise,
• stabilizes the door closing line, improving the perceived rigidity of the wing.

A properly selected and installed rear right seal helps maintain a comfortable temperature and noise level in the cabin, and also reduces the risk of window fogging in the rear part of the vehicle.

Component characteristics and installation

The presented seal is an original BMW component, which helps maintain the factory standard of fit and cooperation with other door assembly components. The working profile has been prepared for operation within typical deformation ranges occurring during the opening and closing of the rear doors, taking into account the specifics of the BMW i3 construction.

During installation, it is recommended to:

• thoroughly clean the contact surfaces on the door frame and body,
• check the routing of the seal along the entire perimeter, without twists or kinks,
• verify even pressure after the first door closure.

This approach allows for the full utilization of the component's sealing properties and limits the need for subsequent adjustments.

Condition and service application

The seal is offered as a used part, making it a practical solution for post-accident repairs, replacement after wear and tear, or when eliminating local leaks in the rear right zone. In many cases, using an original aftermarket component allows for restoring proper door operation without the need to resort to more expensive solutions.

The selection of the seal for a specific vehicle configuration should always be verified based on service documentation or manufacturer markings to ensure full compatibility with the given BMW i3 body version.
