Door rod clips

Post by Zaphod »

What size are the door rod clips, my car came with a bag of new clips but they are all too small!

Not sure which clips you mean.
The spring 'long U ' that ties two rods together and allows length adjustment on early cars?
What goes together.... Must come apart.

Yes, but they are plastic on later cars! They attach the interior door handle to the rod. They were missing on my car when it arrived!
