Does anyone who replaced the driver's side front automatic door lock happen to have the broken one around? I would buy it from you for a small amount.

I'm going to try to fix the broken automatic door locks on my 98 V70--you know, that stupid little red piece that breaks if you look at the door cross-eyed. (It has been aptly named the Red Evil Plastic Lever or REPL by the guys over at Bay13.) Now, I don't mind driving around with a bungy cord on the rear passenger door for a week, but it is a little too exiting for me to do the same with the driver's door. (I did drive around for about six months that way in an old VW Type III, but I was younger...)

Like I said, I could buy it or borrow it and return it (of course, I would pay shipping both ways). What I really want to do here is take one apart and send the REPL to my father, a retired tool and die maker, to see if he can come up with a sturdier and more permanent fix. That will take time and I don't want to drive around with my door flapping for three weeks.

Thank in advance.
