1997 Silverado Door Lock Rod Clip Issue


Recommended Posts

Newbie Here, 

 

Have a 1997 Regular Cab Silverado that I ordered replacement door handles for since the originals had a nice crack right along the lock cylinder.  I was able to get the old handles removed and installed, but ran into an issue with one of the clips that attach the rear of the lock cylinder to the lock rod.  I thought I could re-use the original, but sure as can be as soon as I got it all put back together and locked the truck a half a dozen times the old retaining clip slid off and now have to unlock the truck from the passenger side.  

 

I've attached what the original looked like and what I'm wondering may be a "potential" replacement / upgrade. 

 

1. Anyone know where I can find that replacement clip?

  • Is there some trick to putting it on without bending it? 

2. Anyone tried using the plastic style clips here as a replacement and did they hold up ?

I believe the original clip is GM part number 12338100. There are some listed on eBay. Do a search for 12338100.

Dorman has one also... #75453.
