Grease up the gear. Don't use oil on the cable but Teflon[emoji769] is good.[/QUOTE]
The build quality and fitment of these chinesium units I've been buying are all over the place. Some of them have been so bad they didn't line up at all trying to get the door handle back on.
On most of them the angle of where the screw that holds the door lock part is terrible making it very difficult to get it back in.
From what I noticed the cable hasn't really jumped out as an obvious weak point but there's always something to look forward to when dealing with these door handle carriers.
There's a guy on facebook in one of the e53 groups that's selling a modified version of the Febi DHCs removing the cable altogether.
