51717350593 Cover | BMW F49 X1 Wiper Deflector & Water Plate

51717350593 Cover - Integrated Wiper Deflection System

Specifically designed for 2016-2022 BMW X1 F48/F49 models, the 51717350593 Cover serves as a critical aerodynamic component at the windshield base. This cowl grille panel integrates three essential functions: wiper arm protection, water drainage management, and engine compartment airflow optimization. The injection-molded housing features 14 precisely angled louvers that redirect airflow over the windshield while preventing leaf debris accumulation. Integrated drainage channels with 2mm mesh filters maintain unobstructed water flow during heavy rainfall. UV-stabilized ABS material maintains dimensional stability across temperature ranges from -30°C to 90°C. Precision alignment tabs ensure factory-correct positioning with existing wiper motor assemblies and hood seals. The textured surface finish matches OEM components while providing enhanced resistance to environmental degradation from road salts and UV exposure.

BMW X1 F48/F49 Compatibility Details

The 51717350593 Cover maintains precise fitment across all BMW X1 F48/F49 variants including sDrive18i, xDrive25e, and M Sport trim levels. Verified compatibility includes models with both standard and rain-sensing wiper systems, regardless of headlight washer equipment. Direct replacement confirmed for vehicles manufactured between 07/2015 and 12/2022, accommodating all engine configurations from 1.5L 3-cylinder to 2.0L 4-cylinder powerplants. Compatible with optional heated washer jet systems and collision avoidance sensor packages. The panel integrates seamlessly with both standard and panoramic sunroof configurations. Cross-referenced against BMW ETK databases confirms interchangeability with original components across European, North American, and Asian market specifications.

Engineering Specifications

Manufactured through high-tolerance injection molding processes, the 51717350593 Cover utilizes impact-modified ABS blended with 15% glass fiber reinforcement. This material composition achieves a heat deflection temperature of 92°C (ASTM D648) while maintaining 5.8 kJ/m² impact strength (ISO 179). The louver array creates a 23% reduction in wind turbulence noise at highway speeds compared to previous designs. Integrated mounting points feature anti-vibration dampeners that absorb harmonic frequencies from wiper operation. Precision-molded clips maintain 18N retention force after 500 installation cycles. The surface texture replicates OEM components with 0.8mm depth micro-grooves that minimize visible dirt accumulation. Color-stable formulation prevents fading across 10+ years of UV exposure per SAE J1885 testing protocols.

Compatibility Assurance

Compatible with 2016-2022 BMW X1 F48/F49 vehicles requiring windshield cowl panel replacement. This product corresponds to dimensional and performance specifications required for specified applications.
