Danile Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I can't open my driver's side door from the inside anymore, the outside handle works fine though. This requires I lower my window and open the outside handle if I want to get out. I was told by a local mechanic that I need a new door latch assembly, and I need to get it from Lexus. I called a few places but the part seems really expensive at Lexus dealerships, I tried looking online for the part but can't seem to locate it. Anyone know where I could pick this up?

lenore Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Takes a little knowledge to take door apart and replace the lock mechanism. I seem to remember you have a trusted mechanic. Lexus price unforntunately was $258. But I didn't know about the online discount dealers. By the way that was just the part price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Assuming the door latch is truly fatally broken (some parts of the handle inside the door panel may have simply have become disconnected, a clip fell off, etc. here's where you can order a used replacement: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/mastertech/tap.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
