Default Need a new driver side door...HELP!

I know there has been a couple of threads about this recently, but there are no answers. I am wondering if anyone knows why the supplier to GM is having trouble with the production. My local body shop says the availibility is nill. Is there anything else I can do except play the waiting game? Thanks!

Dan

I went through this a few months ago, I don't think GM will ever get them again, I ended up going a good used door for mine, I had no choice.
Lots of used ones to be had.

Go used. There are a few used parts vendors, including a forum vendor. Bet they could set you up with what you need.
