The most difficult part is getting to it. You need to remove the trim. I'd suggest doing this in a warm shop. Otherwise I think you will end up breaking a lot of the clip retainers.
Use nalgene stlye water bottles to hold your firestarters and other small essential. Great for keeping stuff dry, tough, and double as a water bottle when needed!
fly in, then ride along with someone. Jet service to Moab starts May 1. They're doing runway expansions now to accommodate regional jets. I believe connections will be thru Denver.
finally got around to repairing this, small piece of brass, and a #8-32 allen head bolt. A #6 would have been better, I had to file out the channels for the #8
amazing that this tiny little plastic part is all that transfers force from the latch handle to the latch itself
I'm going to try and make a new one. and see how that goes. Otherwise, its looks like about $175 for a new latch mechanism
Has anyone been able to source parts, or just complete lock assemblies? My latch stopped working, and it looks like a small plastic piece is the culprit.
