Now if it was on the passenger side, you could just pretend that you're chivalrous, but the driver's side is a PIA.

Yea but only from the inside, so I have to roll down my window and pop it from the outside. Oh well I'll just have to suck it up and go to the dealer, But I don't know when I will be able to make it over there, Maybe I can go to the one in Vegas on friday.

Steve will be going by East Bay MINI in a bit if you need parts.

It better not take longer than about 4 hours. Because it only took me about 45 mins lastnight to take the thing apart and rebuild it and put it back in.
