Purpose and function of the component

The presented bracket is a parcel shelf mount located in the rear right section of the vehicle. It is responsible for the proper guidance and support of the shelf, which limits its unwanted vibrations and prevents accidental shifting while driving. A correctly selected element of this type helps maintain an organized luggage space and supports the preservation of the factory interior ergonomics.

Due to its dedicated application in specific F20/F21 LCI body versions, the bracket works with the original mounting points in the bodywork, which facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of mismatch.

Compatibility and BMW fitment

The bracket has been designed for BMW 1 Series F20/F21 generation models after the facelift, taking into account the geometry of the rear body section and the shape of the parcel shelf. Its placement on the vehicle in the rear zone, on the right side, allows for the precise restoration of the factory mounting layout after a collision, disassembly, or other service work within the trunk area.

The element should be treated as a structural and finishing part that contributes to a stable support for the shelf and influences the comfort of daily vehicle operation, especially when the cargo space is used frequently.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the bracket comes from disassembly and is intended for reinstallation in a vehicle. Such components are often chosen for maintenance repairs when the priority is to maintain the original BMW construction at reasonable service costs. In practice, this allows for the restoration of trunk functionality without the need to resort to replacements with uncertain fitment.

It is worth paying attention to the element's compliance with the manufacturer's markings – the product has an OEM part number and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration in service catalogs and parts selection systems.

Benefits of using the original bracket

• preservation of the factory method of mounting the parcel shelf in the rear right part of the vehicle,
• reduction of the risk of play and unwanted noises from the trunk area while driving,
• easier installation thanks to the fitment to original BMW mounting points,
• possibility to restore full functionality of the cargo space after damage or missing mounting elements.
