Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure of the part number, I just took the old clip to Toyota and the parts guy knew exactly what it was. I compared them and it's definitely the same clip. I got really frustrated Monday when I was trying to attach it for well over an hour. I tried five or six different ways of attaching it and nothing worked. Really tried forcing it, but to no avail. I took the clip back off and looked at it and the top of it was bent back a bit. I've also read on here about people breaking the rod when trying to reattach it, so I'm trying to be careful. I'll probably give it another try this afternoon and then just take it in if I can't get it. Will Toyota fix it or do I need to venture out to the Lexus dealership? Thanks again for the reply!

First time posting here, but have read a ton of posts. Not too knowledgeable about cars, but have found a lot of helpful posts that have allowed me to save some money. My problem is my drivers side door won't open from the outside. I took off the door panel and found that the door actuator rod had fallen out. There was a yellow clip on the top of it that broke. I got a replacement part from Toyota, but I've been unsuccessful in my attempts to reattach the rod. There's not a lot of room to work with and it seems like the hole is too small for the clip and rod. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! John

I've got the same problem, the plastic yellow piece broke and I can't open my drivers side door from the outside. I bought a replacement, but I'm unable to reattach it. It's very hard to reattach because of the limited space to work with. Were you successful?
