From memory when I had to do mine, the 5door front units are same as 3 door. I had to do both mine in short space of time, and I'd suggest biting the bullet and ordering an OEM part. I have one OEM and one spurious, and the spurious one doesn't work as well as the OEM. It can be sticky and clunky. Its a tricky enough job, plenty of guides and help on forums. I'd recommend a second pair of hands too when lifting on and off the door skin.
