Interestingly the one I removed was a Febi also but marked "Germany", which is conspicuously missing from the new one.

Old carrier had not broken at the hinge, but is binding as it pivots. Without a new one on hand to compare it to, I cant see what exactly is wrong with it at this time.

It's a really stupid design that puts a ludicrous amount of force through a real dumb gear with no lubrication. In addition the cable is high risk for rusting it might just need lubrication.
