BMW X6 E71 X5 E70 Windshield Cowl/Rain Grille Tray Windscreen Panel 51717151969.

Description

The Genuine BMW Windshield Cowl Cover Panel (Part # 51717151969) is the plastic and rubber trim panel mounted at the base of the front windshield inside the engine compartment. It spans the width of the lower windscreen to direct rainwater and runoff away from the cabin intake microfilters, wiper mechanism, and engine firewall electrical components.

Over time, exposure to UV light and engine heat causes the integrated rubber lip of the original cowl panel to dry out, crumble, and separate from the glass. This leads to water leaking directly into the cabin air filter housings, causing wet footwells, mildew odor, and potential damage to the blower motor or electronic control modules.
