I used the same clip as the door rod on my hatch rods and they seem to work ok. They took a little patience to install though.
Thanks, I'll check out NAPA. Before I mickey-moused it with a few turns of aircraft safety wire, but that broke. I had to reach in with needle-nose vicegrips to tug on the passenger side rod to get it loose.
For now, I took off the P/S catch hardware, so only the D/S grabs it.

Auto parts stores used to sell the door clips in the HELP section, but lately they have more and more plastic crap, and less parts for real trucks.
