Another broken door handle/carrier!

2005 X5 3.0i sports

This would be the 3rd one! Over the last year or so, I replaced the door handle carrier for both rear doors. Now the front passenger side is acting up and I can only open from the inside. Outside handle isn't loose but feels like the cable is stretched inside. This is beyond absurd! I've never had this issue with several cars I've owned in my life! Lately I'm having all the issues E53's known for and my car's become a total joke with my friends.

One other thing, I replaced the rear right door with the Hamman door carrier. It was near impossible to match the screw holes through the side plug hole but somehow I installed it correct. But it's onl been 2 months and the cable already feels stretched and I have to push up on the handle a few times to open the door.

Needless to say, I'm sticking with OEM from now.
