BMW Upper Windshield Moulding 51317388713

Give your BMW a seamless roof-to-glass finish and keep the elements out with the genuine upper windshield moulding (part number 51317388713). Designed by BMW to integrate perfectly with the windscreen frame, this trim piece maintains the aerodynamic flow over the roofline, prevents water ingress, and eliminates wind whistle at motorway speeds.

Key Benefits

• OEM-exact geometry – locator tabs and spring clips line up precisely with factory mounting points, so installation takes minutes and requires no drilling or adhesive.

• Paint-ready ABS/PC polymer – supplied in satin-black primer that can be left as-is or colour-matched for an invisible repair.

• UV & ozone resistant – formulation resists chalking, cracking, and fading even after years of sun exposure.

• Enhanced cabin quietness – fresh sealing lip reduces turbulence and wind noise around the A-pillars.

• Warranty-backed – covered by BMW’s 24-month parts guarantee for total confidence.

Vehicle Compatibility*

• BMW passenger-car models equipped with clip-type roof drip rails from 2017 → present (including popular 3-, 4-, 5- and 7-Series plus X-models).

*Always verify fitment by matching the embossed number 51 31 7 388 713 on your original trim or consult your VIN-based parts catalogue.

5. Press firmly along the full span until a uniform “click” is felt.

6. Re-install cowl panel and wipers, then check for even panel gaps.
