Am I stuck trying to buy a whole new shell for my 100, or can I merely try to find the clip that snaps from the front of the case to hold the battery door in place?

Here's a good short video on how to change the latch out:
I ordered 2 original latches from this site (discounted to $9 each right now):
Uniden GNBZ4D8765A Battery Latch
I also ordered 2 SDS100 Accessories: SDS100 Carbon Fiber Battery Clip from this site ($10 each)
PayPal Payments
I also decide to order 2 replacement Battery Doors from this site ($11 each):
www.bearcatwarehouse.com
I just have a funny feeling the door or latch will break again about a year from now. My original latch lasted about 14 months.

It appears to be. It was sent out on Friday. I should have it by Monday. I'll post an update when it arrives.
Bad news on Uniden part GNBZ4D8765A. It an original Uniden Part, but only fits the Uniden MHS75 Waterproof Handheld 2-Way radio. It's about 1/8 of an inch shorter than the one of the SDS100.
I'm curious if anyone has the original part number of the latch to the SDS100?

I found a simpler solution. After seeing this post by jcarter99

I removed one of the clips to an ACCO Small Binder Clips (3/4 inch binder clip) and bent the top (1/8 of an inch) with a pair of needle nose pliers.
This bent clip fits perfectly in the 2 post holes for the original battery latch.
It's also much stronger than the original plastic clip and is flexible and tight.
SDS100/SDS200: - Broken battery door clip due to large battery tightness
Today the clip came in. I did a short video on how to remove and install the clip.

Thanks. I tried to obtain this part from Uniden and was told this is now an internal part and that I would have to send my SDS100 to Uniden to get it repaired for around $90. 
I would be very curious to hear from our Uniden representative as to why Uniden offers replacement Battery Latches for their portable Marine radios, but not for the SDS100. The 2 parts are almost 100% identical. The only difference is the one for the Marine radios is about 1/8 inch shorter.
