Just an FYI and maybe it was a dud - but my right side is already "blown" so to speak - it just sits at the lowest position and I can manually pull the stopper in and out, something internal must have went on this thing, I noticed it yesterday when unloading my hatch - I'll be getting a replacement since it annoys me - I'm sure the BMW parts have a 12 month warranty and I'm sure I replaced it 13 months ago but no matter -

And on the left side, the screw in the middle of the stopper rusted out super fast, compared to the right - I may just get another full set and keep the left side thats still good as a spare

EDIT: I just ordered a fresh set from FCP (thanks Josh) because although my dealer gives great pricing they only were about 3 bucks cheaper apiece and I have to drive over there on Saturday mornings when I need parts, plus pay sales tax so at $74 for another pair its easy (and FCP warranties for life)

Wanted to be able to take the busted one and my still good one apart to see if I can figure out why it failed on the right side so quick
