Purpose and function of the component

The strut mount is responsible for the precise guidance and support of the tailgate in the BMW F45 Active Tourer series. Located at the rear of the vehicle, on the right side, it works in conjunction with the gas strut, transferring loads during the opening and closing of the tailgate. A properly selected mount minimizes the risk of play, rattling, and uneven tailgate operation, which is important for both comfort and the durability of the entire system.

Benefits of using an original mount

Using a factory mount in the BMW F45 Active Tourer allows you to maintain the proper geometry and rigidity of the connection between the body and the strut. The original part is designed for a specific model, which ensures that it:

• provides proper fitment with the tailgate and body,
• maintains stable strut operation throughout the full range of motion,
• reduces the load on the hinges and tailgate sheet metal,
• helps avoid premature wear of the mounting elements.

For the user, this means predictable tailgate operation and a lower risk of damage resulting from improper installation or the use of random replacements.

Vehicle placement and fitment

The presented mount is intended for the rear of the vehicle, on the right side. This information is crucial when selecting parts, as the left and right components differ in geometry and the way they interact with the strut and the tailgate structure. Proper placement on the vehicle facilitates installation and allows for the use of factory mounting points without the need for modifications.

If you are planning a comprehensive tailgate repair or an upgrade to the cargo area in your BMW, it is worth checking other elements related to this area in the Tailgates and loading category to select a complete set of parts from the same design group.

Part condition and practical application

The offered mount comes from the secondary market, which allows for an economical repair while maintaining the original BMW specification. This solution is particularly beneficial in cases of mechanical damage, such as a broken strut mounting point, deformation after a collision, or wear resulting from years of operation. Replacing the mount restores proper strut support and eliminates problems with the tailgate sagging or closing unevenly.
