BMW Moulding Clip - Genuine BMW 51137117240

Product Information

An exterior molding clip is a small fastener used to secure the exterior trim, moldings, or panels of a vehicle. These clips help hold components like door trim, window moldings, and other decorative or protective elements in place, ensuring they remain securely attached to the vehicle's body. Exterior molding clips are typically made of plastic or metal and come in various shapes and sizes to fit different applications.

• Loose or Missing Trim: One of the most noticeable symptoms of a failed exterior molding clip is loose or detached trim or moldings. If the clips are broken or missing, the trim may rattle or be easily pulled away from the vehicle
• Visible Damage to Trim Pieces: If the clips fail, you may notice that the trim pieces are misaligned, bent, or damaged. This can affect the overall appearance of the vehicle and may expose the underlying surfaces to environmental elements

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.
