Purpose and function of the tailgate hinge

The presented hinge operates in the rear right part of the body, responsible for the precise guidance of the tailgate along the opening and closing axis. A properly selected component of this type limits stress on the paneling, reduces the risk of tailgate misalignment, and contributes to even load distribution during daily use. Proper hinge operation translates into:

• smooth opening and closing of the tailgate without jamming,
• maintaining correct gaps between the tailgate and the fenders and bumper,
• reduction of noise and vibrations in the rear part of the body.

Color and fitment for the BMW X5 F15 body

The hinge is finished in Alpinweiss 3 - 300, allowing for a consistent match with the factory body paint in this shade. In many cases, this enables installation without the need for full painting of the component, which shortens repair time and reduces costs. Its placement in the rear zone, on the right side of the vehicle, ensures compatibility with the BMW X5 F15 tailgate structure, maintaining the factory body line and ergonomics of access to the cargo area.

Characteristics of the used component

As a used part, the tailgate hinge comes from disassembly and is intended for reinstallation in a vehicle. This type of component allows for an economical repair of the rear body zone while maintaining the original structure and mounting geometry. Choosing a part from the secondary market is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where both compliance with factory specifications and control of the service budget are important.

• factory mounting points matched to the body structure,
• preservation of the correct tailgate opening geometry,
