I have my parts and am about to attempt this repair. I plan to leave the battery hooked up and will leave air bag connected and tie it up as some have. Does anyone know how to make it so my interior lights don't stay on the entire time I have my door open? I don't see a button in the door jam that tells the car that the door is open.

Much trouble
Hi Guys. Also suffering here (6 hours and counting trying to replace the carrier). I managed to do it, or so I thought, (getting the allen screw lined up was a real pig) however when testing the lock it appears that the tension of the cable isnt sufficient enough to open the door.
On the cable the plastic sleeve has two notches. I clipped it in using the top notch pretty easily with a bit of pressure but the cable is too slack. I've therefore tried clipping it in on the second notch and havent been able to do it. I looked at the notch after around 30 minutes of trying and can see that the sleeve is actually fatter at that point, which is the reason why i'm struggling. The car has been in an unusable state now for a full week and it's driving me crazy. Any ideas on how I can retain the tension and will it be taut enough if I do get it in the second notch (i'll have a go at filing it a bit). If anyone has had the same problem I'd be interested to hear how they resolved it. BTW I am using an after market part rather than BMW original one, not that it should matter too much. I've attached a Jpeg so people can see what i'm referring to.

Hello monkeytennis,
I ended up re-using the cable from the old carrier which was OEM. Try removing it from the old carrier and install it into the new one. In my case, I just couldn't snap the end locking piece into place.

I thought that was one option but didnt want to venture down that avenue just yet as it took me 4 hours to get the allen screw lined up and into the lock. A simple design flaw, an extra couple of mm on the screw would have helped.
