Just asking but why are you opposed to buying a re-pop? Are they known to be inferior to originals?

Hmmm, If you have both pieces of the spring, can it be welded back together?
It would lose its temper and not function properly, I would suspect.

Already bought a repop . . . for some reason it is not a fit. It looks like an exact duplicate but what I attach the rods the one for the exterior thumb button is too long. Yes, Ive already thought about re-bending the rod which wouldnt be that tough. Right now it would be easier than finding a working OEM latch for sale.

Craig: One of the springs has been broken for as long as Ive owned the car. Never knew it was a broken spring until I cleaned the part in preparation for reinstallation. Replacing the spring is not an option because it appears to have been installed using a press and I have never found just the spring for sale. In this case I may just rebend the rod and use the repop latch since I have already bought it.
 
I have some in my garage attic. I will get up there this weekend and see what side they are for.
