Yup, they turn. Up or down. Super easy adjustment.

Ordered INPA/SSS/DIS/NCSExpert. Think I'll be installing Windows XP on my laptop as a second loader. Hopefully all goes well with that, wish me luck...

First real drive all noise is gone from the back of the X. Well worth the 8x.xx.

Thanks RB!

Isn't it great man! It was so worth it for me too as I have the non-soft close hatch. The hatch closes nice and snug now and no rattles anywhere from the back

Glad to hear all worked out well, Matt good luck on the Romanian Suite install and yes a dedicated laptop is always a good thing for it!

Whoa. So this mod is to eliminate noise as well? Sign me up. I thought it was just so you could have you hatch close softer.

No its an improved design to keep the hatch more secure and less rattle/movement when closed. the 2 part numbers are a few pages back.

Side note, installed my drivers side E70 front arm/wiper today, it is bad ass and bolted right in (prying the old arm off after its been in place for 12 years though, SHEESH!), now just need to get the passenger arm shortened and we are good to go.

slide hammers work awsome with the L shaped attacthment. there wasn`t 1 wiper arm I couldn`t get off while I was doing bodywork years ago.the only thing with the slide hammer is , you have to be careful the wiper doesn`t fly off and scratch the paint.

Good call on that, I ended up using a 15" adjustable wrench as a pry bar LOL. Few taps on the stud with a mini sledge to "wake up" the connection a bit, and it popped off, probably wasn't the prettiest thing.

I put towels over the area because the tools and wiper arm did fly off as it released haha!
