Took me longer to watch this video than it did to fix it, this was EXACTLY what I needed to see. Thank you!

The trick is to put the clip in the latch first and later put the rod into the clip. You do have to swing the clip up to clear the rod and once the rod is inserted, you swing the clip back and snap it over the rod to hold everything together.

That’s very true. I figured it out on the tail gate later, but the clips for the side door aren’t the same as the tail gate and I couldn’t get them to fit, even with the rod out. ruclips.net/video/Z0k6PnDWhG4/видео.html

Got off work, door was fine till i got back in to go to the store. Ty, i need to buy those dang plastic bits in bulk 😂

[@ALiEIV]

Thanks! My top latch rod was loose, but I didn't want to wait for a clip, so I zip-tied it and it is flawless for free.99

My 2001 GMC backdoor bottom broke today. Thank you for this video. Tomorrow I'll get the T30 torx and I'll know what to look for.

Just had this happen to me while our toddler was in the back car seat. luckily other side was all good and no issues but in that moment 😮. Thanks for showing a fix and alternate temp solution

[@timhills4808]

What the fixs all rods are right but the bottom doesnt lift it high enough what mit be fix on that please 😊

[@christopherescalante819]

Thanks for this video, do you know where I can order those green clips?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

They are not serviceable (they don’t sell the clips separately, just with the entire mechanism when I went in) so I tried bailing wire, but a sturdy zip tie would work best in my opinion

[@crossvanhooshier126]

awesome video! i had this problem, however now the bottom rod is not being pulled up high enough by the latch. do you have an idea why that might be?

[@amff7542]

Thanks!

[@johnk3734]

Off-roading will make this happen hahah 😂ask me how I know lmao

[@Leo-dw3fr]

Whats the name for that door clip.? Mines just did that 1 week ago. 🙏. Awsome video.!!

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I went in today and they are not sold separate. I will do an update video, where I ran bailing wire to hold the rod in place. It worked like a charm

Should I work on my engine first on my 99 cobra or should I work on the exterior ?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I would work on the engine. It can always drive how it looks

[@wiz9839]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage true It needs a lot of body work imma just focus on the engine for a good high performance alternator what should I get?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Kmj is good or mechman

[@AR-pf6kk]

Whats the correct part number?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It’s not serviceable. You have to buy the entire door latch assembly

[@angiehont5327]

Where do you buy the clip and what is the name of it?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It is “not serviceable” I tired the tail gate clip and it was too big. I’m the end I used a zip tie or bailing wire

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage hey thanks for the video, it helped me out for sure.... but they do sell individual and multi pack clips for this application ... they are called door lock rod clips and you can get them at advance auto for like $5 and maybe $7 for a multi pack... the multi pack part number is 75450.... its very hard to do if you dont take off the inside door panel... plus i also unbolted the door handle mechanism so i could have more room to get my hands in there.... plus like was mentioned its best to put the clip in first, than the rod.
