BMW Liftgate Support Strut Holder - Genuine BMW 51247127877

Product Information

The liftgate support strut holder is a small but essential mounting component that secures the gas-charged liftgate strut to the vehicle body or liftgate. It ensures proper pivoting and load distribution, allowing the strut to safely assist with opening and holding the liftgate in position. Typically constructed from durable metal or reinforced plastic, the holder is engineered for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life under repeated use.

• Loose or detached strut connection – liftgate strut separates from the mount, preventing proper operation.
• Cracks, wear, or broken holder material – compromises stability and safety of the liftgate assembly.
• Difficulty or inability to keep the liftgate open – indicates the holder is failing to secure the strut correctly.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
