Motor mounts for a countryman

Sooo, got the dreaded motor mount replacement issue. So now I have to figure out how to get it done myself, etc. 3rd gen, 2018

I was wondering if there's an available upgraded motor mount (car only has 53000 miles)? Seems like there should be, since this is one of the few issues these cars are having. This is for the large rubber fluid filled membrane mount, kinds looks like idk a clubhouse. (Biggest one on passenger side)

Also I looked on YouTube and I didn't find a video for doing this on a countryman, just the smaller minis.
Does anybody know of a video showing what you have to do for the countryman?
I understand going through the wheel well is the way to go, but that's it.

Also, searched here and didn't find this info? I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones!

TY

How much is the dealer or even an independent shop quoting for this?

Should be close to the same, if anything you have much more room.

Just make sure you get the most up to date part and the correct one for your Model.

This is the only upgrade insert with a new mount.

Dealer wanted 1300$ for the mounts job
A shop I like so far will charge me $450 for labor and whatever the part costs

So the mount at your site seems like all the others I've seen on the web. Has there not been an updated version? 🤔 Know there is a race version that is different. Not sure I want to do that

Race is usually pretty strong and stiff. Performance is the yellow. Yep those are the only ones.
