For as much work & bloody cut hands that job is buying new parts makes a lot of sense. Call Steven at eMINIparts.com. That is where you will get your best price. Tell him you are an M/A member.
Contact Raj or Misty at ARK Auto Recycling in Fla. They can find you exactly what you need at a great price. I meet them at MINI's on the Dragon, nice people. 863-825-3014 https://www.arkautoparts.com/
ill order the new ones next week... as for changing them as a mechanic its a pain in the ass but iv had worse knuckle scraping jobs than that
It's not really that hard if your double jointed, have magnetic fingers and don't mind bleeding from all the sharp edges in the inner door. After you get over all that it's simple. :lol: Have fun.:ihih:
I thought I would never get that dam little wire reconnected! The only thing worse was trying to restring a window regulator on a Fiat
