thanks. I hope to fix my door this weekend; for expedience i will be putting in the shitty bmw designed carrier but will LUBRICATE the damn thing first, but my plan is to fix/upgrade my old one to make it awrsome an worthy of installing in a car the with the class of an x5. I will then install into my wife's x5. when i take hers out I will upgrade it and offer it up for somebody to take advantage of it (unless i can use in the back; i am not sure if the front and rears are the same).
