    Hi there.

    The lock tab on my passenger side door is broken I believe, and I can
    only lock that side from the outside with the key. Is there a way to
    fix this problem without trying to find this separate part? I've found
    the entire lock tab and handle set on ebay for $50 but thats for the
    ONE side. I"m pretty sure its the tab and not the cables. Some feedback
    would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    go to a junk yard. there, you'll not only get the part much cheaper,
    you'll get to practice disassembly without damaging anything /you/ own.

    Is this part just called a lock tab or is there some other name for it?

    You can simply JB-Weld and fiber glassed it. Same thing happend to our DX.
    Worked ever since. It's just bad structural design.

    Is this the little flap you flip in and out to un/lock the door?
