Where to find door lock pop rod retainer/lock?

I'm sure those of you who have added power locks have run into this and would like to know where you found the pop rod retainer that fits into the factory hole.

Basically, the factory lock actuator rod goes into the lever arm for the lock assembly and is held in place by a plastic clip. I know most every car uses this type of retainer for pop rods, I've just never seen them for sale at the parts store.

The HELP section in most chain auto stores usually have some but maybe not exactly what you need.
The junkyard is also a viable option.

I'll check it out. If I find a pack that works, I'll report back the HELP part number for future searcher's reference

Try http://www.clipsandfasteners.com

There's a couple different kinds of those clips, and I know I've seen at least one available there. You'll end up with a lot of extras though. Most box sizes start at $15. Certainly worth checking the local auto parts store first.

Got a pack from the help section. Tomorrow I'll be able to go out to the garage and figure out which one works. I'll report back

The dorman kit from the HELP section at autozone worked. Use the yellow 90 degree piece and it fits perfectly.
