Little clips that hold door operator linkages in place? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone repop these? They are handed, and all I seem to have are the wrong ones for what I need. The linkage fell off to the inside door handle, and it's getting to be a full-on PITA having to roll down the window to open the door!

Have you checked the Dorman section at the parts store?

Are these the door rod clips you are looking for?

I just did this the other day. You can get the same ones in left and right at Napa. I bought a big bag of them a couple years ago. They go from 1/8" up past 3/8". I'm sure I grabbed some that were too small and too big that I'll never use but they are pretty cheap and come in handy to have for who knows what.

A lot of parts that we need, such as these clips, can be found at our local auto parts store. I have never had a problem finding these locally. We seem to waste a lot of time searching for things on the internet when we could have found them at our locally-owned store. At sometime in the future, we will decide to venture into our local store and it won't be there, another victim of the internet.

These are also used on carburetors.

I agree. They come in handy for tailgate handle too. They had some in a soft white plastic and a harder green plastic too.

Haw! That was the first place I looked. The old one broke. That's why I wanted to find some new ones. I figure they must have a 50 year life span.

I never thought to look at NAPA. I'll do that tomorrow.

Thanks, guys!
