I was replacing the inner panel on the driver’s side rear door today, and, not paying attention, yanked it with enough force to brake whatever plastic piece attaches the metal rod to the manual lock

button/tab (see picture). After peeling away the plastic vapor barrier (or whatever it is) and feeling around inside, I’m beginning to conclude that I’ll be living without a manual locking button on this door. AmIright?

Thanks,

Parts store would have that piece...or Rovers North. I've got several door locks, if you fail to find it locally. Could drop one in the mail very easily.

 

Hey - thanks! I was wondering more about level of effort to get to and replace. Just did a cursory look but it seems quite difficult to access…

This video will be useful for you, especially minute 4 and after….

 

Hey - thanks for this video! I’m going to have to watch it a couple more times tomorrow, once the effects of the Cabernet have subsided!

I will be using this video myself as a guide to replace my door actuator this weekend
