ok, I found the pics real helpful. There was one issue with trying to remove my door panel and it's located in the center. There is a clip that only let's you pull upward in order for it to release. Heck, I used a crowbar on mine and popped it out before I could visually see how it works.

Anyways, spend $125 tax included at my local BMW Stealership and installed the Carrier in about 1-1/2 hours. I had no time to look for the better deal since it's my wifes daily driver and it transports a 3 year old. All good now. I actually inspected where the part failed and it just pops right back together. It's a design flaw.
