Welcome to ownership of an X5 and to the forum. We all try to share common experiences and knowledge. That is why everyone was jumping up and dowm on the OE vs ebay parts. Fit finish and correct alignment.
Now go buy the part, install it, and lube the other doors BEFORE they break too.

Is there any lube at the autozone to use? and what brand?
I have some of that Valvoline grease (
