1999 S70 Driver's door won't shut fully or latch

Post by LJonus »

Hey, guys, I don't know the technical term, but my door latch assembly failed on the driver's side up front. The other door latches flip up and lock, but this one flaps up and down freely. I've called auto parts stores and they don't even carry such a thing. I've looked online, but since I don't know exactly what to call it, it has proven tough. Any guidance on where to get the part would be appreciated. I have the door panel off and the latch out, the install looks easy enough.

The door latch assembly is broken and the only places you will be able to get a replacement are through a dealership for a new one or a salvage yard for a used one. The are door specific so be very explicit on which door it is.
