Just received mine. Any updates on how these are holding up?

Still no visible cracks. Panels are holding together.

North Carolina climate...Hot Summers, Some Winter (freezing days). X5 has now 168K miles (Panels are put in at 144K).

Thanks for the quick reply. So far so good. Install wasn't too bad after drilling and replacing foam and weatherstripping.

Overall I am happy with quality and installation was easy. I didn't have to do any major mods. Mine already had weatherstrip on left and right piece.

I was able to reuse foam pads on left and right pieces (see attached pic with highlight). Also added small piece of foam weatherstrip on center piece, where it attaches to left and right side. Sticker for "SYNTHETIC OIL" was reused from OE partition :rofl:

OE are slightly heavier and stiff. Now lets wait and see how long will they last. I will provide updates.

That looks good. I am going to have to check mine. :thumbup:
