TJ Jeep door latch rod

[limeliam]

Does anyone know of any good quality door latch rods for the door handle. I’ve been through 2 yellow after market ones and they are trash, they don’t hold the rod down and break within a week. I was planning on using the OEM from original doors but the plastic is worn out. Help would be appreciated, thank you.

Can you let me know what you've tried that wasn't any good? I'm going to be pulling my doors apart soon

The ones that come on the quadratec handles and the ones from AutoZone. Both are the bright yellow ones. They aren’t sturdy enough to hold the rod in place long term

I'd go get some quality cold rolled round stock in the appropriate size from your local metal yard and bend your own.

I had to replace a couple clips in one of my doors. I used these and I haven't had any issues.

I'm also fighting self ejecting plastic clips.

Anyone tried something metal? Lika-this:
