^^^ Wow, amazing cable pics there. How could they be so wrong?

But I wanted to chime in saying I've got 4x Febi DHCs in my 2001, all from RMEuropean, all installed just fine, and still working with a few years following install.

I did not do any cable transplanting with the Febi's. I did recently do the AndrewWynn stainless steel zip tie reinforcement on the driver's door DHC, but that is just preventive.

The 4x broken originals all failed the same way - the U-shaped pivot support cracked or completely broke off. I shipped them all to AndrewWynn for his x5 Repair and Maintenance Laboratory.
