The left front door latch on our 01 VDP is starting to act up. It's mechanism is getting stuck internally and not allowing the door to latch properly when closed and sometime it doesn't open either.

I've tried cleaning and lubing it which seems to help for a few days but then it has problems again.

The part number for the latch is GNA1080BJ but it does not seem to be available anymore.

Does anyone know of a good source for a replacement part? Does anyone rebuild my existing latch?

Are these parts that commonly fail at this age? If not, maybe I could source a used one.

Thanks

 

For used parts you can find the part or at minimum a yard close by using... Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market
Here's one from Amazon... Have you checked the cable?...they are known to stretch and cause issues.
Almost forgot, check with David here... https://shop.everydayxj.com/Default.asp

 

There is one in Kansas City on a salvage car . Pretty sure only sold as whole unit . Chrome handle or not ? Try yours with the battery disconnected ..
