E71 tailgate lock

Is there a plastic cover missing from mine or is this BMWs best effort. Had the car a few few years now and never thought of it until i was challenged why it looks 'unfinished'.

Now that I've been drawn to it, it does look rather crude

Worry not, those penny pinchers in Finance missed me as well….

Miserly penny pinchers :

i beleive the X5 has a plastic cover over its lock. But whatever, if there was never one for the X6, ill move on. That said i have cracked my balding bonce on it more than once. The tailgate is set to the lowest lift by necessity, or it would thwack the garage door above it.
