Review on πŸ”’ APDTY 042411 Door Lock Actuator DLA Motor: Front Left, Compatible with 2006-2011 Chevy Impala LS or LT (20790496 Replacement) by Brian Fishel

Fits but does not latch when the door is closed

For the driver's door of my 2009 Chevy Impala. Fits well and looks the same, but the door almost doesn't latch. You must not close the door too hard or too soft, otherwise it will not latch. Eventually it clicked shut, and as I stood there, the door swung open again, half-latched (you know, when you normally don't close the door tight enough and it's half-latched). I only replaced the original because the electric motor it contains weakens and doesn't always lock the door when it's hot outside. Just buy an OEM part and you're done. UPDATE: I bought a Dorman door lock and it works great, as does the OEM. Pay more and get a good one so you don't have to do it twice and waste $50.

Pros
  • Even the elderly can understand
Cons
  • Some small things
