Default question about door locks on 4th gens

getting into car- if i unlock my side the passenger door doesn't unlock, but if i unlock the passenger side the driver's side will unlock. should it not work both ways?

i remember someone saying something about holding the key to unlock the passenger, but couldn't find the post.

lastly, if you were to get the plastic molding for the locks and switches from a RHD lude, would this cure the problem?

it's a security issue, say you have to jump in your ride real fast
and some guy want's to jump in the pass side and jack your ***
it will still be locked

Think about it - if you're opening the passenger side first, that pretty much always means you're going to be getting in the car, which means they might as well open the driver side as well.

However, you probablydrive alone most of the time so it makes sense that if you start by opening the driver side that it only opens the driver side.
