Finally got a vault rod, door rod...(I don't know what it's called???)... The rod on the rear door, there's one on the top and the bottom that latch the door closed. Was wondering what kind of clip will work to hold the rod onto the peg behind the door handle?

yea those rods there....sure would be nice if I could fold my door open like that to get to them. The guy I got my rod from said he broke every one he tried to take off...can you still find clips like those or use something else?

Over the last few years I think I have tossed out dozens of those clips. You can find them at NAPA....

sorry my mistake
http://www.parts123.com/PartFrame.asp?ZTM=cadeflka&GHOME=www.obschevy.com&TITLE=Obsolete_Chevrolet_Part_Co
use 3865443
They have the last four in the world for about $1 each but couldn't be bothered to send them to me internationally for such a small order.

I have a question. How do you get the clips off, once they have been put on? I need to take mine out, but the clips are on there pretty good.

If the clips are the RIGHT ones, you stick a screwdriver under the rod and twist it to force the rod right off the pin on the latch,,,,,now if the clips are the wrong ones, they will probably be destroyed before they come off ,,,,,,

According to GM the clips are one use only.
