Purpose and function in the vehicle

The trunk lid telescopic actuator in the Mini F57 is responsible for the controlled movement of the lid from the closed position to full opening. This component operates at the rear of the body, on both the left and right sides, stabilizing the lid during both lifting and holding in the upper position. A properly selected actuator reduces the risk of the lid suddenly falling, which is important for user safety and the protection of body components.

Construction and technical characteristics

The presented telescopic actuator is a design matched to the factory mounting system in the Mini, which facilitates installation in the original mounting points. The applied geometry and stroke are adapted to the kinematics of the trunk lid in the F57 model, allowing the component to work with the hinges and lock without the need for additional modifications. This solution allows for maintaining the correct opening line of the lid and the appropriate support force on both sides of the vehicle.

Vehicle placement and installation

The actuator is designed to work at the rear of the vehicle, with the possibility of application on both the left and right sides. This solution enables:

• maintaining symmetrical support for the trunk lid,
• easy replacement of a single component or a pair of actuators,
• installation in existing mounting points without interfering with the body structure.

Thanks to the fitment for the specific Mini model, the installation process is straightforward – after removing the worn component, the new actuator can be seated in the same brackets, maintaining the factory operating geometry of the lid.

Condition and benefits of use

The offered item is in used condition, which allows for an economical restoration of the trunk lid mechanism's efficiency while maintaining proper fitment to the vehicle. Replacing a worn actuator with a functional unit improves:

• daily comfort of using the trunk,
• stability of holding the lid in the open position,
• overall ergonomics of operating the rear part of the vehicle.

This is a practical solution for Mini F57 users who want to restore the functionality of the trunk lid in a controlled manner without the need for non-factory solutions.
