Hello, my car listed above (Kentucky CA emissions) has a broken exterior door handle, broken door latch, and weak door actuator. This was confirmed by a mechanic who wanted $600.00 parts and labor to fix.
Prior to this issue the actuator would lock and unlock doors just fine, so I am not too worried about that part.
Is it possible to go to a scrap yard and remove a door entirely (same trim and paint) and swap it out?
Would this be an easier approach?
Otherwise, how would I go about replacing the latch assembly (most important to completely close door) and exterior door handle?
This car has automatic door locks, power windows, and power side mirrors.
