Editing Locks (section)

=The Driver's Door=

Righto,

Pardon the french, but what a head fuck.

My initial problem was that the lock linkage to the latch wasn't in correctly.  I put it back in and the lock worked fine, I popped it up and down a dozen times, and it detached itself a few times, anyway that's an easy fix.  But I thought considering had the trim off I'd take those photos of my latch. Lucky I did too.

Seems that I do have a lock different to those in the tech section above. Pics as follows.

The images of the passenger locks show a screw through a part that (on my lock) has a moving part behind it.  I couldn't quite tell what its operation was but it obviously wouldn't move with a screw through it.  I decided to super glue a piece of metal there but its life was short lived lol.

Here in the red you can see where I super glued the plastic piece, but as I said, its life was short lived. AND to my delight in green, a small fissure on the tab.  So now I had the tab problem, and obviously no where to do the screw fix.  Giving me a mental headache.

Finally decided the only solution for driver's door was to get a new lock mech, $233 brand new from Nissan, I figured it's worth it if it lasts another 18 years. I didn't get any pics but the little tab is thicker on the new one and the hammer part that hits it has a rubber brace around it, seems Nissan noticed this problem and remedied it.
