Passenger Footwell Trim
Lower A-Pillar Trim
Cowl Trim Panel
Interior Corner Panel
What this part does
This lower interior trim panel mounts inside the passenger cabin at the bottom of the A-pillar, directly next to the footwell. It serves as a protective cover for the vehicle's interior wiring harnesses, ground points, and junction blocks that are routed along the floorboard and cowl area. By shielding these vulnerable electrical components, it prevents damage from passenger footwear, moisture, and debris. When this panel is cracked, missing, or suffers broken mounting tabs, it leaves wiring exposed to potential shorts and creates an unfinished appearance in the cabin.

Before you order
Interior trim panels for the E39 generation were manufactured in several specific cabin colors, including Black, Sand Beige, Grey, and Caramel. You must verify your vehicle's exact interior color code before purchasing to ensure a visual match. Additionally, installation requires the factory plastic retaining clips and a properly aligned door weatherstrip seal; inspect your existing hardware and the mounting holes on the vehicle chassis to ensure the new panel can securely snap into place without rattling.
