Question About Door Lock???
I was opening the pass door with the key and the whole thing came out. I took off the door panel and found the clip. My question is, there has to be a trick to putting it back on???? 
I tried putting my arm up from the bottom but could not reach. There has to be an easy way to place the clip back on???
Any suggestion would help....
Thanks
Tom

Seriously though, which way does the clip go? Up, down or sideways? I have to put mine on too soon.

Do you happen to have a 13-18 year old son?

I forget where i got mine but you can probably get one at a surgical supply or a good drug store for a few bucks. Very handy for working on little parts. Sorry the pic isnt that clear but you ought to get the idea.
I really appreciate you guys for the help. I do have a 12" hemostat that I use when I feed my snakes. Yes I keep snakes for a hobby. I will use it and let you know how it went.
Again thanks

I taped my clip to a long screwdriver end with duct tape. Held it in place and pushed it in with another screwdriver. Then I put a piece of duct tape on the clip so that it wouldn't slip off easily again. Mine fell off in a motel parking lot 400 miles from home with the doors locked. I had never been able to budge the passenger side lock until that day. I said, Please Lord let this door unlock, and it unlocked so easily. I haven't been able to get it to unlock again!
