Replacing the microswitches wasn't sufficient in my case because the failing tab on the switch scored a groove on the rotating cylinder withing the latch that operates it. So I replaced both latches. I went with a cheap Chinese aftermarket latch, it's been perfectly fine so far and no adjustment was needed.
Where did you source these ???

rock auto only has the one side with the alarm .. looking for the other side

thanks
