Door latch removal - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi - How do you remove the driver's door latch on my daughter's 2004 Yaris? The cable has broken between the inner door opener and the latch. I have removed the door panel, undone 3 screws and a bolt securing the latch. Now the latch is only attached by the outer door handle lift rod. How can I detach this from the door latch? Many Thanks Carl.

Old thread resurrection !

Is this all I need to know if I want to replace the driver's door latch ? I know how to remove the inside panel... I will see what stuck me tomorrow when I will install it.

Many thanks!

Another resurrection, exactly the same problem! How do i find out the exact product code for the replacement cable? I want to make sure I get the right one for a 2004 Yaris, 2 door version.

There are a few variations for your French made Yaris. PM me your VIN and I can tell you exactly which one is used on your car.

Correct - Rods for the locks, but still cables for the inside door handle (which is what I believe the OP is looking for).
