[DML] Re: Passenger-side keylock is jammed

["supermattthehero" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Update: 

After fussing with the passenger keylock all day, I got tired of it 
and put my screwdriver and pliars to work.  The passenger keylock is 
now out, not necessarily in one piece, but out.  I also managed to 
ding up the lock area on my door; nothing that can't be fixed by 
sanding though.  I have no idea why there was a piece of metal 
attached to the keylock that prevents it from being removed from the 
door; EVEN after lining up the plastic tabs with the grooves.  How 
did the factory workers ever install it this way???  If it's true 
that my car was originally 2-key, then converted to single-key, it's 
stupid that they never bothered to replace the passenger side lock.  

To recap, the key that came with the car when I purchased it opened 
the gas cap, the storage compartment, the driver-side door, and the 
ignition, but not the passenger door.  

What are my options here?  Is there any chance I can get a new 
passenger lock that can be made to fit with my current key?  Could I 
switch back to the 2-key system and remove the driver-side lock as 
well?
