JMC 0 Posted January 7, 2007 My passenger door lock looks to be cracked at the point where the door pin would pass into it (pics below). Now when I try and open the door from the outside it is really stiff, but seems to be fine from the inside. When my handle broke I replaced the lever in the handle with one of daves16v ones but doing that didn't seem to improve it. The hole lines up well with the pin, although the pin has lost the plastic sheath around it. Question is would this crack in the lock result in the handle being stiff, and does anyone have any experience with the trimsport style chromed replacements as if it does need replacing don't really want to go through the stealers???

dr_mat 0 Posted January 8, 2007 This part of the lock mechanism is readily available 2nd hand for peanuts, take a look around ebay. If in any doubt, replace it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colinstubbs 0 Posted January 8, 2007 New door pins aren't expensive either even from stealers, can't remember prices though. Might be worth raising the door a bit by fettling at the hinges so it's all aligned again (lock/pin) if you do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
