I agree! A few years back the wife locked the keys in, and the locksmith partially pealed off the chrome on the inside of the door handle when he was unlocking the door... was going to get it replaced at the dealer, but they quoted $500+. So I covered it up with Chrome tape, and been driving my ghetto-mobile around until this weekend where the latch failed completely. Ive ordered the part for $12 on Amazon and will be dropping it in tomorrow. Thanks again for the video.

Thank you not just for walking through the repair, which is great help and a great public service, but more importantly, THANK YOU for demonstrating the workaround to open the door using the lock latch. Until the part arrived, that saved me from having to constantly open the car by rolling down the window and reaching out to the outside, which was quite annoying in the tight garage.

I think every time I've removed a door panel I've broken at least 1 slot that the clips slide into. Either I just don't have the touch, or more likely my cars are too old or too new, new enough to have a lot of plastic and old enough for it to be getting brittle.

10mm socket, 7mm socket , t20 torx and a very small screwdriver or pick to remove the trim button inside the door handle trim. If a door panel clip comes out of the door panel and stays in the door, you need to pop it out, a pair of wire cutters and a gentle hand will work.

Yes, the cable length determines it during installation. Looking at 5:02 you can see how it forces it to lock or unlock. It is typically unlocked when removed.
