Door Cable Repair Kit?

Hey all,

The door latch on my '01 F-150 no longer opens the door and after reading on the forums I'm suspecting that the door cable is the culprit. Apparently the OEM plastic ends on the cable break over time and they compress when the cable is put in compression instead of opening the door.

Does anyone have any experience with these kits: Ford F Series Ext Cab Rear Door Latch Cable Repair F150 F250 F350 4 Pieces | eBay ??

It seems like it could be a much quicker and cheaper fix than replacing the door cables themselves. Has anyone used these before and how well do they work?

I used them on my truckwhen I bought it last year. It tokk about 30 minutes to get the door open and install them.


They work great.
