Fantastic information on this thread and would never have got the handle carrier out without this advice. Sadly I broke 2 in one night when both locks frozen and couldn't get in the vehicle. Didn't think I'd pulled too hard as doors wouldn't open so climbed in through the rear tailgate and it was only yesterday once temps rose that I became aware of the damage. £75 per carrier off ebay (genuine BMW). God knows what the stealer would have charged. Thanks for the advice on here
