Anyone ever hear about the door carrier breaking from a hit to the door like this?

Was trying to open the door that got hit and it wouldn't open, and the door handle is sitting slightly higher like my passenger front handle that is broken... Opens from the inside no problem...

Guess I'll be adding the door carrier to the list of parts...

Alright, so we got a little off-topic here...

I was able to get a quotation from a PDR service so that I would not have to go through body and paint work, and was quoted $300 for the service.

Will be getting paid from the person who hit me today, and I will setup an appointment to get the PDR done this coming week.

Thank you! I agree with you 100% that's the reason I still have this gem with me. I have a few friends that have done the 6 Speed swap and absolutely love it!

That's for sure! He's a new immigrant to the country, has a young family, and most of all was very cooperative through the entire process, so I wanted to be as fair to him as possible.

Here are some pics of the spot cleaned up:







So hard to tell with the naked eye, hence why I figured that a PDR solution would be the best bet!

Where'd your get the Hardrace stuff in Toronto? Or was it an online purchase?

The X5 looks great! I got mine recently as well but the Canadian winters haven't been too kind to it... Rust

Yes, the Hardrace stuff was purchased online and shipped to me.

Thank you! I know how hard a Canadian winter can be!

When I was searching for mine, I went through 8-9 X5's to find the right one, that had the least amount of rust (none) and all the options I wanted.
