Unfortunately, I was unaware of this issue prior to the storm. I just bought de-icing spray as a precautionary step for the future.

I don't have the means to do the repair myself and am getting a quote tomorrow. It looks like an expensive repair. I try to avoid dealerships but not sure if my local guy has replaced this before. Any thoughts on what the repair should cost or if there is any chance it is just stuck are greatly appreciated!
sounds very much like the carrier is broken. i just had the same issue with my x5 - - door handle jarred slightly, wouldn't open.. the hinge on the rear side of the carrier snapped. Apparently a very common issue..

In addition, my lock asembly is broken internally.. argggg... that's a key-coded part, which isn't so cheap....
