BMW E36 3-Series sunroof motor panel cover - 51442254965

This is an interior sunroof motor panel cover for the BMW E36 3-Series ONLY COUPE, replacing OEM 51442254965.

Description

This replacement panel covers the sunroof motor mechanism on the interior roof. Over time, original factory panels experience plastic degradation and headliner fabric sagging. This part provides a bare, structurally sound foundation for interior restoration.

The panel is constructed from ABS plastic. The finished surface is specifically textured to facilitate the adhesion of new headliner fabric. Fabric is not included with this part. Cross-references include OEM 51448173547, 51442258323, and 51448189229.
