There is suppose to be a little plastic clip that holds the bar onto that metal thing. It broke off. Both my doors did that a while ago.

Basically something like this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mmu-39291

checking it closer it seems to me that the rod is bent in a U where it connects to the locking cylinder. just wanted to confirm with yall that this is not normal and i should unbend it so it will accept those little clips i bought. thanks yall

If this a left door to lock cylinder do an eBay search for 14043183 and there's several very good images of the rod and the appropriate clip is shown with some. You shouldn't need to do an eBay buy I just used it as a 'what you should see'!
