The connectors used are compatible with the original electrical harness, which facilitates connection and minimizes the risk of installation errors.

Thanks to the preservation of the original housing geometry, the button integrates well with the upholstery and other interior trim elements. This solution allows for maintaining a consistent look of the cockpit and rear doors, without visible differences in shape or parting lines.

This solution is particularly recommended when replacing a damaged button or restoring full functionality to the rear part of the cabin after electrical repairs.

The offered component comes from the used BMW parts group, which allows for an economical repair of the window control system while maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications.
