Rod clip retainer rear door Chevy 1969

Need your help. It have A rod in the back door that was locked in the door. Not able to open. I finally open whit A screw driver in the bottom of the door. I Need A retainer clip that go in this Rod. What It the name of this Rod ? The name of the retainer clip ? Thanks

Those clips are hard to find new. I don't know of anybody finding a reasonable replacement.
There is a part number for them (I cant remember) I search every where a couple years bak and found three NOS clips I promtly purchased.

I recomend saving every used one anybody can find. You need to be real carfull removing the clip.
I made a special tool to release the clip. Simple tool with two pins to get under the two sides of the clip stratling the door latch pin.

You might look fpr a clip in the bottom of your doors and use a magnet. I have found lots of unused and NOS parts in the bottom of doors.

I've twisted a piece of wire around the notch in the pin that the rod goes on to act as the clip. Not much room to work in there but it can be done.

I have put an other modèl of clip , hard to clip buy i think It will be safe. Thanks
