Sliding door repair diagram

[bearymore]

Due to a huge eruption of stupidity, I managed to break the outside handle on one of the sliding rear doors. Essentially, the little plastic arm that goes into the body in the front of the handle broke off. I got a replacement from Rosenthal, but it is the whole assembly including the handle and the mechanical parts at either end.

To install it, I will need to get into the door's innards. Rather than flying blind, I need to get my hands on a diagram of the door mechanisms, but can't seem to find one. Does any one know of such a source?

I can tell you to remove the inner panel you will have to do most of the work inside eh.... Check the door latch TSB and it should show you how to remove the door inner

Do you know where I can find the TSB?

Thanks.

bearymore, one day I will be in the same boat as you are. My inner door lock keeps sticking like 75% of the time. I keep oiling it but its not helping. It usually requires me to reach inside the car and unlock the slider door. Usually when it decides to stick I'm holding something or have only one free hand. lol I've been guilty of yanking on the handle a few times. I'm curious about this diagram as well. I would like to see if I'm not oiling a part of the mechanism that could be causing this lock to be catching.
