driver remote door lock pivot repair

[Gerald Baxter]

The remote lock works on all doors except driver door. There is a hole on inside of door below latch where I can see something move when actuated. What is the repair solution

Remove the door panel first. May need sheet metal repair or a backing plate if the actuator rivet pulled through.

well unfortunatley, it DOES need a special rivit and gun.
Swing by an indepenadnt body shop and have a few bucks in hand.
It will take seccond. If they are even remotly kind they will walk out there and do it for nothing

I just replace my metal rivets with a small bolt and nyloc nut when necessary.
