Aloha all!
The driver's side suicide door has become temperamental. One of the grommets which secures the cable to the lower latch has eroded. Now, to open the door, I have to reach two fingers under the handle, press that grommet into place, and hold it while I pull the handle. It works, but is rather humbug. Looking around for spare parts, I can find the handle assembly, the latch assemble, the latch assembly with cable attached, but not just a cable or just a grommet. Any thoughts on an easy fix here? I was thinking about just applying a zip tie or tiny tiny hose clamp to the cable on the inside of the door, but I want something that'll last for another 20 years. I hate popping off interior panels, and tend to wreck them when I do, so I don't want to be revisiting my repaid in a few months when my band-aid slips out of place.
Mahalo!
