That's what I would call this part, but I need to know what it's really called so I can get replacements.

There are two of these little white plastic doo-dads on each door. They clip into the metal frame of the door, and they hold the actuator rod that locks/unlocks the door.

I've got two busted ones. Would like to replace all four.

Anyone know what these are called? I looked at Year One and OPG and didn't see them...

Thanks as always.

For future reference, the part is called a "lock rod anti-rattle clip". The only place I could find them was Classic Muscle. He only had three of them, and I bought them all...

Can't believe no one has ever dealt with this part before, but every search I do on the site comes up empty...

That has always been a junkyard item for me. I wonder why no one has reproduced them yet?

I have looked for them to, only found them on ebay & junk yards. Sometime you will see whole locking mechanisms go on ebay and sell for only a small amount. Check it out.
