Yea i figured that'd be the case, luckily I know the rod's not been messed with much. From what I recall being in the doors over the years I always remembered them being that yellowy beige plastic, like ant anti-theft cover thing over the latch but I could be mistaken. If it's broken or looks like it's going to keep popping out I might just use some good ole' zip ties to help keep it in place. I just want to get it fixed before my to-do list grows again.sigpic

Yea? I thought it was a Ford thing, you're talking about the clip the rods from the actuator hooks into right?sigpic

Thanks, that's really good to know. I'll probably try and pick some up then since they can get sketchy in 20+ year car. I still don't know what's up with mine yet cause I haven't popped the panel off. Hopefully soon though, I'm hoping the drivers side weatherstripping comes in so I can just finish up with that door and get over to the pass side.sigpic

Found my problem, actuator rusted and seized. Disconnected it and removed it. It turns out the rod for the door lock simply popped out of it's clip. It's all good now, I'm gonna go try and pick up an actuator tomorrow.

Glad to hear you got it figured out, I was pretty sure that's what it'd be because it's happened to me twice now. You getting and eBay actuator?sigpic
