See previous note below:
So, yesterday I installed a new door latch assembly in my drivers door. Pulling the door panel open with the door closed was not fun. After several hours and a few Band-Aids, the repair was completed. I purchased the part from my local Honda dealer for wholsale price, $162.50 plus tax (List = $217.00). BTW, my local Honda dealer told me that the repair could cost up to $800.00!! If any of you guys need advise with this repair, let me know.

Just today, my driver door will not open from the inside or the outside. From what I understand there is a Honda bulletin on how to drill the latch to get the door open and replace the latch with a new one. Does anyone have it and if so let me know? I've only seen this repair done once and can't remember where to drill. I know that this is not an easy repair either. If any of you have any short cuts or know how to do it easily, and advise would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
