Relay Rod End Clips

Check Motor City K5 - some business was offering replacements and I believe it was them.

I found some of those style clips at Napa auto parts in the past. It was at least a couple years ago and the counter guy said they had been discontinued and his supply was down to less than 10 clips. You might get lucky and find a Napa that still has some.

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.

I will look them up, thanks. Last time I checked MC K/5, they had some rediculously high prices. But I guess they know they're the only game in town.
