Tailgate Panel for BYD Sealion 06 EV, OE 15996993-00

The fitment record for this one names the BYD Sealion 06 EV and nothing else. A tailgate is cut to the aperture of the body it was designed around, so a panel from a near relative in the same family will not sit right on its hinges or close on its seal. If your own car is close to that model without being it, do not order on the strength of the shape looking similar. Read the fitment table on this page first, and if you are still unsure, send your vehicle details through the quote route.

It is. UGE-6302002B is the alternative reference for this panel, so the two numbers describe the same tailgate. On a panel this size the marking usually sits on the inner skin rather than the outer face, and paint or sealer can hide it. If no number can be found at all, work from the vehicle instead and check the fitment table on this page. Where doubt remains, send the vehicle details and your own images of the old panel through the quote route and we will match it to 15996993-00.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. A panel of this size also has to be booked onto a freight service instead of going out on a van run, which is a further reason not to plan a paint booth slot around the earliest possible date. If the repair is time sensitive, ask through the quote route before ordering.

It goes out as freight, on a pallet rather than by parcel courier. The packaging details are shown on this page. Make sure there is space to take it off a tail lift and somewhere flat and dry to lay it down until the bodyshop is ready for it. Sending it straight to the shop doing the work saves handling the panel twice, and handling is where panels get marked.

Metal. Nothing further about the finish is published here, so treat it as a bare panel until your bodyshop tells you otherwise and keep it wrapped and dry in the meantime. Metal panels stored on edge against a wall pick up dents at the contact point, so lay it flat if there is room to do so. The preparation and the paint work sit with the shop doing the repair and we do not set out a method for it. Confirm 15996993-00 against the panel you are removing before the old one comes off.

At the rear, on the outside of the body. It sits at the rear of the vehicle in an exterior position, which is what you would expect of a tailgate rather than an inner structure, and it is the panel that closes the aperture at the back of the car. No side applies to it, because a tailgate spans the full width instead of belonging to the left or the right. If you are working from a diagram, match the position against the fitment table on this page and the OE number 15996993-00.

There is no Aftermarket line for this OE number, so the Original/Genuine panel from BYD is what the page can show. Large body panels are commonly available from the vehicle manufacturer only, and where that is so we would rather show one honest listing than pad the page with a second tier that does not exist. If you have found a pattern panel elsewhere and want it checked, put the reference through the quote route on this page along with 15996993-00 and the details of your car.
