need some help with door rod clip

[longbeach]

I need some clear instruction on installing the door rod ( from outside handle ). I got a new clip. slid it onto bracket from the bottom. But there doesn't seem to be anyway or anything to capture the rod. I'm obviously missing something. The little bump on the clip catches in the bottom of the upper hole. So the bottom hole is open on the front but the back of the clip blocks the rod from going in that hole. Do I have the wrong clip? Any help appreciated. Thanks

How about some pics so we have a better understanding of your issue?

There are several videos on the you tube.

Sounds like it may be installed backwards.

Thanks for the replies. I've watched the videos, but nobody gets into it deeply. It's very hard to see in there. I'm hoping to get a reply from someone who has actually done it and can explain exactly what is capturing that rod.

That's no joke, I had to do that a couple weeks ago while I was working on my door locks. It's dang heard to see in there, for sure, but the other door helped. Thank God I didn't take them both apart at the same time.

Do these clips from the 1978 manual help at all?

I'd love to have a pic of the entire mechanism assembled....outside of the door shell.

Sounds like something to make happen......
