Id try it without the latch..if cost is a concern and buy the scratch n dent and save bucks.
I bought a scratch and dent it it had a few scratch on the inside of the door......umm..after my first smoke session..i dont see the surface scratches anymore.
The stock door fits oerfectly a nd offers a very snug fit..like other when i removed reinstalled my stock door handle the brass receptacle to catch sceew in the handle spun...
I figured out issue...that brass ferrule is glued in...after many smokes the glue is compromised..so reatraching handle reslts in you hitting a lot of gumk back jnto ferrule which causes screw to stop short and then you keep turning..and the glue breaks bond ...
I had a backup new stock door..removed handle and it fit and works perfectly.
Plan to fix the other door handle...soak the ferrule in degreaser...clean with tiny qtip shaped wire brush..clean bras ms ferrule insert channel in the handle and then use jb weld...
The handle and screw should then work as it should...
Try to buying the scratch n dent...while waiting filor shipping..get some jb weld as backup.
Remove the handle and keep track kf assembly of the wave waslve washer and the square nut etc..mmwrite it down as youd probably forget...
After removal...thoroughly clean out the ferrule so you clean out the ferrule screw channel which should allow you a trouble free assembly
