ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle door handle with a control rod for operation of a door latch has a rod guide clip which provides a reaction force in a direction perpendicular to reciprocating motion of the control rod. The rod guide clip has a base member with a generally planar surface having an opening for receiving the control rod substantially perpendicular therethrough, flexible fingers circumferentially spaced around the opening and extending thereinto for biasing contact with the control rod, retention tabs on the base member circumferentially spaced radially outward of the flexible fingers for contact with a clip flange in the vehicle, and a pair of clip arms extending away from the base member in clipping relationship with the clip flange.
