Hi John,
Can you share the part #?
I'm having the same problem with the 'latch' on the passenger side not catching.
The center and driver side are fine.
When I looked and felt under the passenger 'latch', it seems the cable snapped.
It looks like there are just 2 bolts that hold the latch mechanism in place.
Any other tips or advise is appreciated.
thx,
Joe
