Default door rod retainers

I know in each door there are three rods that work with opening the door and the lock mechanism, but I can't remember when I took it apart how many retainers there were. I think there were at least 2 in each door, anyone know off the top of their head how many exactly in each door? I'm looking to order replacements. Thanks!

I believe there are 3. 1 for the lock up/down interior side. 1 for the outer door handle up/down and 1 for the inner door handle...if memory serves me correctly.

Be sure to get new clips to hold them on!

the repop ones suck and they are expensive. If you can reuse the old ones I would.

That's not good to hear...I did notice they are expensive though! Unfortunately the old ones all cracked so I guess I'm between a rock and a hard place...

I have used the Scott Drake ones from NPD also and they worked very well.
