drivers side door latches are screwing up...

It is the outside door latch that keeps popping out of its little plastic holder thingy. The inside latch connects at a different spot and is staying where it belongs...
However, even with this, the inside latch "sometimes" opens the door, and sometimes does not?
weird.

I am thinking of heading to the dealer to get a replacement little plastic holder thingy for the outside door latch.
Or, I could just jb weld it

thoughts?

I'll get some pics up tonight

The yard or the dealer is a better solution than jb weld, yes it might work for stationary stuff but from my experience it doesn't hold up to moving parts.

I guess I'll go see how much at the dealer first
