Purpose and technical function

The presented rear hood seal has been designed specifically for use in the rear body section of the BMW i3 I01. The component operates at the contact point between the hood and the bodywork, where it is responsible for:

• reducing air drafts at higher speeds,
• minimizing the ingress of dust and moisture into the space under the hood,
• stabilizing the hood edges during closing and while driving.

Thanks to the factory profile, the seal maintains the correct geometry, which translates into repeatable, secure hood closure and proper adhesion to body elements.

Color and visual fit

The seal is manufactured in a black finish, typical for BMW sealing components. This color scheme:

• provides a neutral, discreet look around the rear hood,
• facilitates integration with other body components and compartment plastics,
• allows for maintaining stylistic consistency with the factory design of the BMW i3.

The shade of black is selected so as not to distract from the body shape, while aesthetically finishing the hood contact line.

Installation characteristics

As a component from the Hoods group, the seal is intended for installation in the rear part of the vehicle, in the place of the factory hood seal. The construction based on the original profile facilitates proper seating in the slot and alignment with the hood edges. In practice, this means:

• the ability to restore the factory hood adhesion line,
• maintaining the proper pressure of the seal against the bodywork,
• reducing the need for additional adjustments during installation.

The element is intended for BMW vehicles where it is necessary to restore proper rear hood sealing after bodywork repairs, collisions, or natural wear and tear.

Condition and service application

The seal is offered as a used part, which allows for an economical restoration of the rear hood sealing system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This type of component is particularly useful in:

• post-accident repairs of the rear body section,
• servicing fleet vehicles where cost optimization is a priority,
• renovation of BMW i3 units experiencing leaks or hood looseness.

Using an original seal from this group allows for maintaining the proper operating parameters of the rear hood and reducing the risk of unwanted noises and vibrations in the hood area.
