Reassembly tip for lock rods on E bodies

[HP_Cuda]

Though I'd share a bit of fun that I had with putting my door lock rods back in. First I found that the used ones that I had were previously bent every which direction by the prior owner. So I decided to eliminate any issue that might throw at me and call Dave @ Roseville and order some new ones.

Well I put them in the car and then tried to test it with the door open. Wrong! You need to close the door to test it out and guess what it worked like a charm! I did have to replace one of the round rod clips because one broke on me but otherwise it was pretty straightforward.

Because of my work on other cars I thought hey it should work the same but I'm glad I found out the door must be closed to see that everything works.

Live and learn!
