Default Door Mechanism is Broken, Fix?

Hola.

The Fiance just bought a 1993 Del Sol on Sunday. Upon further inspection we noticed this contraption is broken:



Easy fix? Order the part from honda and just replace it?

It looks like a major PITA.

If that pin just slides out then easy fix.

There's more to that piece, the end is broken off inside the door, you'll need to take the door panel off and replace it (the 2 bolts that hold the other part on are on the outside of the door)

Part number:
72340-SR2-003 CHECKER, DOOR

Ha, I'd like for the door to actually hold itself open though.

I know it's been a long time since this was posted, however, need help with same exact part 72340-SR2-003.

Honda discontinued part. Does anyone know where I can get replacement part? I tried car-part.com, and first time looking on this forum, only found this post.

Thank you.

If they’re the same as a 2000 Civic LX, I may have a spare.

Really? That would be awesome if it were interchangeable. I'm going to check the part number for 2000 Civic LX door checker to see if it's the same. Do you happen to have a picture of your spare?

Thank you!
