Broken Door Latch Cable
Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2010 1:04 pm
Hi. I have an '04 Vibe and the drivers door latch cable broke. I went to the local dealer for a replacement and he wanted $60. I cant get myself to lay out $60. for something as simple as a cable, so I am looking for alternatives, cable repair/replacement ideas, any kind of help. For now, I have to lower the window and open the door from the outside handle to get out of the car. I thought of getting a bicycle cable and threading it through the old cable shield, then affixing a new end, but cannot find any kits, or even YouTube videos on how to do this! Thanks for any ideas you might have!Jim
