Default BEC9538 Door Lock Clip Workaround

I was investigating a problem I was having with a door latch not wanting to snap back and along the way I noticed I had a broken clip BEC9538 NOT holding one of the two rods across the door.

I ended up buying to parts to make this work:
(1) Dorman 785-112 License Hardware Kit with #8x1/2" screws. The plastic square anchor fit into the square hole and then I hung two 3/16" nylon cable clamps from (2) Dorman 86108 Nylon Cable Clamp Assortment.

Both purchased at Advance Auto.

I am attaching a photo to show you how it works. Seems to work perfectly. I think the 1/4" clamps could work, but the 1/8" will not.

nice little fix! It is always funny to find something useful in the random section.

Thank all. So as it was just the back fixing plug that was broken l went to Autozone and bought some white plastic square pushin fixings, cut the broken back part off, drilled a hole and fixed it to the trim plug with a screw. Looks almost original. Simples.....
