Door Lock Rod Clip

3D printer to the rescue once again. Two nights ago as I was getting in to my car (2000

Toyota Camry) in the freezing cold, I lifted the handle and nothing happened. Got in

through the passenger side and started home, once home I took a quick look, the door

handle rod had dislodged from handle, fortunately the handle looked intact. Forward to

today, I finally get the door apart and see that the lock rod clip(the yellow thing) is broken

and so the rod won't stay in place.

Although you can get an assortment of the parts for about 5-8 dollars (Dorman Door Lock

Rod Clips 75474), no one has them in stock, so that would mean 3-5 more days of going

through the passenger side to open the driver door from inside. After about 45 minutes of

measuring and designing and then 3 hours of printing, the problem is solved for now. I'll

probably have to have someone else print some in ABS for the summer, but for now the

flexible filament seems to be doing the job.

11/14/22 Just got this info from ChaseBot_T800 on Thingiverse. They suggested I add this here, I agree.
