Calling this "exterior " is kind of 50/50, but here goes...
I am in need of a replacement driver's side door latch. Aftermarket seems to not exist any longer for these, and I have had no luck finding wone through an OEM source. Junkyard parts don't exist for these things here in Iowa (rust), and/or they won't part with anything short of an entire door. The body shop that has tried to adjust it has no luck finding one, either. They re-aligned the door due to sag from a long-ago quarter panel replacement, but now it won't stay latched if I hit any rough patches while driving. They tell me the striker post is fine, but the internal latch jaws are worn out.
Any ideas?
