i think it might be helpful to know which door you’re talking about.

if you want used, you could start contacting vw junk yards: busted bus, avery’s, busco, interstate, and way out salvage ought to get you started.

if you want new, others with more experience will have to chime in on quality, price, source, etc.

I use Ken Madsen at TheBusco. Fast, reasonable and quality used parts. Be sure you ask for the correct year parts.

Actually, I’ve recently learned that this most common problem is a broken spring. In fact, I sourced the spring and bought 10 or so to keep in stock. So, remove the mechanism, clean it in your heated ultrasonic cleaner, wash, dry, blow dry. Lube and install the replacement spring. Should last another 50 years
