If I have something to add I do. I appreciate your insights. I scanned back nearly 2 years of your posting subjects and saw only one, "locking doors" from Nov. 04, which was interesting but it doesn't answer my core question: has anyone successfully- or unsuccessfully tried to replace their latches with ones from another car so that you can close the door even if it's locked, or hit the lock button even if it's open? From Martin's post, and yours put together I gather it's feasible. But I gather that no one reports having actually done a swap out. And no one else has reported anything on this subject over the last few days since I asked. Maybe I'll just look into it myself. I'd rather risk locking the keys in the car than have to pull the door panels off again because a passenger does something inappropriate like hit the lock switch after I've opened my door. Wayne A.
