The little plastic flap that covers the keyhole finally broke. Read about it before, but it finally happened to us. I was able to remove the 2 pieces. It is supposed to be one piece.
We can fashion one out some plastic any good material suggestions especially by one that has done this repair? |
For those who are not familiar with the flap, it is not clear but translucent and about .5 x .25 inches small. Maybe 2mm thick
|
From the information on Rob Robinette's site (http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/door_lock.htm), the translucent lid of a fabric softner bottle can be used to create the plastic piece in the door lock.
Good luck and hope that this helps. |
Thanks. I saw that too, but after I saw the part I thought the bottle plastic seemed too thin. maybe I'll try it.
|
I've lost the little plastic as well (I believe on my passenger side). I figure I might as well forget about it. I have other things to worry about on the car. If you do fix it, please tell me how easy it was to fix.
|
Believe me, there are more things, but this one looks easy.
|
This is easy to fix and you can do the drivers side while your changing out the burnt out lamp in the drivers keyhole as well. Radio shack has a three lamp pack that has a green, red, and yellow lamp that works real well as a replacement. It shouldn't cost much to get the keyhole inserts from Mazda... :newlaugh:
