How would i go about fixing my broken door lock for my civic? the door handle assembly itself pops out all the time although the door itself works. i can see that the back part of the lock where you insert the key on the inside has a plastic piece that is broken off, the door locks from the inside but i just want to know where i could get it fixed or if i can do it myself. and how would i fix the assembly from coming out every time i open my door?
There may be several reasons you were unable to resolder your joint. If there is water in the line dripping into the joint, You didn't clean the joint properly or you didn't use a flux. Depending on your soldering skills, you may find it easier to cut the old joint out and replace it with two couplings, a couple of pieces of 1/2 copper and a new elbow. Remember to clean the copper and use soldering flux or your joints will leak. If your soldering skills are in question then they do make compression fittings that slip over the 1/2 copper and tighten with a couple of wrenches. You still need two couplings, two short pieces of 1/2 copper and a new elbow. Check with the staff at Lowes or Home Depot for assistance if you not sure what to buy. Compression fittings are really easy to work with. Sorry but there really isn't a cement that will fix your problem properly
Just leave the windows down the neighborhood cats will take care of the rest
