I also need to buy a set. The ones on the Malaysian site are twenty four bucks plus shipping. Does your source have any more for sale?

Just yesterday I ordered another 30 sets from him, so maybe he is out of stock now ;)

Yeah, just like the rears. For some reason both fronts are dragging when opening however. Any other suggestions?

and make it move?

Try pushing against the cover and pulling one the locking slide.

This may bring the cover in tighter.

Thanks guys I bought the set tonight from Malaysia.....Would have been nice to save the ten bucks like Jehu did......Instructions from Shogun looks easy enough. Maybe after I install I can spray with high pressure hose without fear of water leaking in doors.

It helps fitting when you heat them up a bit in warm/hot water so that they are more flexible, that helps especially in winter time.

I had to loosen the torx bolts and reposition the handles a fraction lower to stop the handle rubbing on the trim.It only needs to move a fraction.Kriss if i can do it anyone can...

I only found those because i looked.I simply type "bmw e34" into the ebay search usually once a day and set its search parameter to "newly listed" and whamo .Most of the stuff there seems to be more of the same all the time lke new Roundells ,tire valve stem caps or Aluminum Pedal sets but now and then something worthwhile shows up.
