Does anyone know of a good resource to get parts for D1 exterior door openers. The pesky door opener virus has spread to the drivers door and now both front doors will not open without trying at least 5-6 times. I heard from a member a while back that there was a supplier who sold replacement springs for the openers.

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps there is a more elegant (or proper) fix, but on my range rover I just take the door panel off and put a kink into the rod running from the door handle. It makes the rod effectively shorter and opens on the first pull for me. Just grip the rod with your favorite pliers and give it a little twist.

i've replace my springs with these... (i've done 2 of 5 doors so far) and i'm getting to the others... just low on my priority list right now... but seems to do the trick!
