That wasn't the problem - that part is easy. It was once the carrier was up in place and I was ready to screw it down, it "rocked" - if one end was flush with the door panel the other was 1/4' behind it - push that end flush and the other end moved back a 1/4". It was hung up on something I could NOT see. And when I eventually got to sit flush at both front and rear ends and screwed it down, the entire pull latch was jammed, like it was locked. I think the lock cam was hung up on the end of the window runner or something.

Dang odd... but as I said, I pulled the whole thing out and started again. Seemed better that time - no significant issues. other than bruised knuckles from fecking with the ball joint on the cable too many times!
