Lock on '91 200TQ driver door 'shot'

[Efraim Gavrilovich]

This most likely caused by the crack in the plastic pin which rings around
of ball shaped end of another plastic pin. It can be fixed by drilling a
small hole through the cracked part of the ring and threading a short screw
(#2 or #3) through the hole. When you see the part you will understand what
I mean. Tighten the screw and put a drop of crazy glue over the crack for a
good measure. This will cure the problem. It worked for me.
