I'm in the process of installing the door latches, and as soon as I removed the cover, that pressed fitting blew apart. I want to do the permanent fix on both sides now, but I can't find the fix instructions. I remember something about a elevator bolt and eliminating that spring washer. Can someone point me to that Fix Link?
thanks....

There have been several posts over the years on this topic. Here's the one that I used as a reference (apologies for the link to the "other" forum):
