I fixed it with a new latching mechanism. It took about 2 hours to replace and about $95. The dealer quoted about $250 - $300 for the repair.
I put up a web page detailing my repair. If you have this problem, you can fix it. Here's how.

Mike, that is a great article! Looks just like you are a Technical Writer!
As far as the door panel clips, the company I deal most with is
www.auveco.com They have local distributors and you have to call their 800 number to get the location of one near you. I have been working on power window motors in my Mercury and the clips at the dealer were over $1 each. Through Auveco I was able to get boxes of 25 for $4.84 a box...quite a savings since each door uses 16 clips. Get their catalog, it's good reading!
