2007 Expy Exterior Door handle fix. (marshmallow skewer wielding madman here )
Wife told me when i got home for work that the rear passenger door would not open. It also happens to be on the side that we have the child lock set. So you cannot open it from the outside or inside. When i pull on the outside handle the resistance is lighter than the working side. It still has the spring but the cable/rod is not actuating. Looking at the working door, i figured i could get a thin flathead screwdriver between the door seals and around the rubber stop to push the child lock down. I ended up using a marshmallow skewer (because the screwdriver i had was about 1/2 inch too short) to disable the child lock from the inside. Seemed like a cool trick, great so now the inside door opens. how do i fix the exterior pull? all the instructions and videos i found were for older (different handles)
any help?
thanks.

so its a broken rod clip. the piece that sandwiches the door latch mechanism to the handle pull. I cant figure out how to attach the two back together. any write ups on this? my arm cannot reach either of the parts to push the new part on. am i supposed to remove the door handle or child lock to gain access?
