PART: Used factory right (passenger) side front soft-top latch ("Verschluss BG auto.") that locks the front of the convertible top to the windshield header. Made by Edscha for BMW. The slider block is stamped 1002437 RE (RE is German for rechts, right). The housing label reads ES31, 21.12.00, E-No. 3001.157.00.4, C-No. 8 229 824, P-No. HE 035039. BMW catalogs list 54347031362 as the right latch. That number is not printed on the part, so please compare the stamps and label above with your old latch. Photos show the latch with a drive cable end attached (cable label VG-1002310). The drive motor and header trim panel are not included.

Condition: Used OEM, removed from a salvage vehicle. Orange paint-marker writing on the housing and slider block, plus normal surface wear and grime for its age. There are small cracks in the plastic slider block near the stamp; see the close-up photo. The item pictured is the exact item you will receive, so please look through all the photos.
