Door lock cylinder ?
 
I have a loose one and think I just need the clip that holds it in place. Anybody have one or have any ideas how I can fix it without one if they are not available anywhere?

Thanks, Rb

check your local pink n pull. I might have an extra some where have to look thats one of those parts I will grab at the wrecking yard just to make sure I have one when I need it if you can't find one let me know

If you could check I would appreciate it. In not sure where a local junk yard is, but I will check. IT sucks having it loose and you cant lock it. All you have to do it pull the cylinder out and turn it, it unlocks the door.

Thanks

Wonder if it could be in the bottom of the door? I can only guess one used to be there so if it came off, should'nt it fall to the bottom?

Are the clips easy to get off the inner door panel>

I've got a simular issue. it turns but it still unlocks and locks the doors but I think its going to break soon. My plan is to shave the locks and handles. I've always wanted shaved handles on a car anyway. but I don't want to pay for nothing. if it works dont fix it. if its broke upgrade. thats why my last car had a body kit and hood. I was hit lost my bumper and fenders, it was cheaper than stock and I got to buy a 1400 doller set of tien coilovers. and a 40 doller greddy shifter (my pit ate stock shift knob while I was helping a fellow moterst on the side of the freeway) and I still had 1800 dollars to play with. I got hood bumpers sideskirts fenders shiped from japan for only 1100 to my door. but it took like 4 fucking months!!!!!! I got pulled over for driving half a car like 50 1/2 times.

ask my about the 1/2 well I'll just tell you. cop was lazy and just pulled next to me and asked my why I was missing so much of the car. I was hit and I'm still waiting on there insurance to pay I reply. well get it fix and he drives off. I only ended up gettng one ticket but I was getting pulled over 2 times a night somtimes. well I'll shut up now

white : those clips dont come off very easy unless they get bent with these cars you should get to know your local junk yard if I find an extra in my parts. I will PM you


ps I'll look in the morning

Thanks man, yes its bent right where the door lock is at. That is probably what caused it to pop off.
