I haven't tried it yet, but the weekend car fun is about to begin. :-)

You can always just get door poppers. In most cases thier alot cheaper than a replacement and alot cooler too. My friend had the same problem with his eclipse.

Take it out and bring it to your local locksmith. They'll redo it and even put the little plastic keylock cover on it. Cost me $15.
