I'm looking to replace my driver's door latch after years of putting up with its 'quirks', but I've done my searching and as far as I can tell no one sells new replacements. I'm assuming I'm gonna have to go diving into junkyards and pray that I'll find a latch that isn't as knackered as mine, but before I do are there any parts makers out there that still sell brand new door latch assemblies?
And for anyone curious, my driver's door lock is VERY finnicky. It doesn't like to unlock with anything but the power lock system. If I use the key or push the switch above the interior door handle, there's a lot of tension and it refuses to move. There's been times I thought I was gonna break the key so I would just go over to the passenger side and use the power lock switch on that side. Obviously, I'm kinda sick of doing that, so I figured it's time to fix this problem once and for all.
If anyone knows if new latches are still being made, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. If not, welp, time to go junkyard diving!
