Default 2001 Dodge Durango SLT + Interior rear door handle

Hey all,

Need a bit of help here....my wife's 2001 Durango had the window regulator fail (again!) so I replaced it with a new one today. The problem I am running into is the tab that keeps the door latch connected to the arm on the door panel broke. The pin still will fit in its hole but the plastic that holds it in place snapped off. Is there a replacement for the latch or do I need to get a whole new door panel from the junkyard just to replace it?

Thanks,

Steve

Here is the picture..the missing part holds the arm to the door handle.. I'm going to put a zip tie on it to hold it in place for now.

Why not continue using the zip tie?

Right now, I'm going to. But as it's on the wife's Durango, I was overthinking it and wanted to repair it "right".
