Broke my door lock, now what?

[Pacific9]

Okay, so I'm putting a new speaker in my passenger side door panel. Like an idiot I wind up breaking the little plastic clips that hold the rods in place that allows locking and unlocking the door.

My Cherokee is a 2000 so the dealer does not have the parts. I couldn't find anything on Ebay either. So what now? I broke the plastic clip ons for the door locks and now I can't seem to get them anywhere. Oh yeah, I tried the local salvage yard too and no luck there either. I'd really like to fix my door so I don't have to use the key. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Those plastic clips should be available in the Dorman HELP! section in most automotive parts stores.

^ what he said.
Those parts are common to almost everything. Dorman will have you covered. Otherwise... junkyard & get yourself a pocket full of them.

this, and you can grab them from many different cars, not just xjs......very common.

The only detail to look out for is the diameter of the rod. A larger diameter clip on a smaller diameter rod will cause it to be loose and wobble.

Yep, but even then, I'm betting a dab of glue would make it "just right"
