Hi I was researching a problem with my driver's door (won't stay shut!), and I came across your post from last year. I think I have the same issue as you had - and I was wondering where you got your latch from. I can only find it new for ~$250. It'd be much appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.


Thx.

Instead of continuing to drive around with my seatbelt looped through the door frame I decided to tackle this problem on my own. After some extensive research I determined my latch was now broken and would no longer lock; the entire assembly would need to be replaced. I called around and sourced a complete used replacement door latch assembly from one of our many excellent local suppliers for $50. Picking up the assembly required an interesting trip on the highway during rush hour traffic and through a sudden summer storm.

I managed to complete the replacement procedure in just under an hour and a half and I now have a perfectly functioning door again.
