HELP - BOTH Door handles broken? Door won't open!

[ediddynsx]

Bro I'd swap out the old latches just for preventative measures. They are made of plastic that will eventually wear and someday you my friend will suffer the same ordeal.

Doh! :tongue: Well I better swap them out before that happens.

Well. I'm now a part of the 'piece of shit door won't open' club. FYI, car has about 180k miles.

I have similar problem but only on one side of the door. I order a new assembly and hope to install it soon. It does not look nice to open door thru the passenger side especially infront of a big restaurant.

Any more details on how to fix this problem? I've run into the same issue as well.

Out of curiosity, I presume that the 'preventative maintenance' would involve replacement of the lock assembly (72150-SL0-A03 - left side)? That is an expensive touch!

Has anybody determined what actually fails within the latch mechanism? If so, is this a wear issue that assiduous lubrication might prevent or does it fall into the category of random material failure that just happens?
