ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle door (10) has a door lock mechanism (18) mounted therein which is mechanically operated by a door lock button assembly (24) between a lock position and an open position. The door lock button assembly (24) has a control rod (28) connected on one end (32) to the door lock mechanism (18) and is non-threadingly retained on the other end (34) to a button member (26) so as to permit the control rod (28) to pendulumingly swing a predetermined angle (.beta.) with respect to the longitudinal axis (50) thereof and to allow the button member (26) to rotate around the longitudinal axis (50) so as to prevent binding when moving through an opening (45) in a trim panel (12) of the vehicle door (10).
