Locking mechanism question for "85 300D

[stevo_61]

I can't unlock the door with the outside key lock. I opened up the
door and found a broken plastic part that is turned by the shaft
connected to the key lock. This part connects it with the vacuum locks
and the unlocking mechanism. I am trying to come up with the best
fix. Can this part be bought by itself? Will I have to pull the whole
mechanism out and apart?

hey we've got the same problem.. i cant unlock or lock with the key.. so tell me.. .how easy is the door panel to get off so i can look at it now?
i was going to put keyless entry in to solve it the easy way

now when you took the door off where there stupid lil plastic clips that damage the door panel if not remove properly? i have the link to the online manual that shows you how to remove it
