Latch opening the door broke, not the plastic, it is made of ammonium, inside the door there is a latch made of antimonium that frees the door to opening it, some stupid guy tried to open my door forcefully and broke that piece. Where to look for it to replace it? Is there any replacement in stores or just in junkyards?

Welcome to 2CarPros.

I'm not completely sure which part broke, the linkage, the latch that connects the door to the door pillar, or the handle itself.

As far as replacement parts, a dealer should be able to get any of the parts I mentioned. Also, you may find a good part at a salvage yard. Things such as the handle itself often times is reproduced via aftermarket manufacturers.

I attached a picture of the door. Can you tell me approximately where the damaged part is located?

Let me know.

Joe
