Lol...

Your LR dealer sells them for around $8 a piece. I bought 2, replaced it once, the other is in the glovebox.

Either way, I'm trying the plastic latches first.

That could work for opening, but you would run into trouble closing it as the actuator wouldn't be retracted when you go to close the door.
