    Exterior Door handle rod vibrated out

    Earlier this week, Dave and I ran an all day trail to Crown King with Brandon from over on the FB VX group site.

    Had a GREAT time, and he took a ton of videos, mostly of me as I was following him.
    Check them out onthe "AZTREK" FB group site. They're awesome! https://www.facebook.com/groups/AZTREK/

    Trail was so rough my exterior door handle stopped working. Took it apart today and found the rod had vibrated out of place. THERE'S A SURPRISE. It has that brown plastic clip on the end, then goes in the hole.

    Popped it back in but sure not much resistence with that brown clip, really easy to pop out again.

    I had a new clip so replaced it, seems to be seated much firmer.

    Anything else I could do to make it stay connected??? -- as it seems to me there's going to be a lot more rough roads if we hang out with Brandon!

    Also found 2 loose parts at bottom of door, not sure where they go, couldn't ID them on the schematics.
    Anybody ID these and where they go? The one on left is foam, I think it's padding for something, maybe one of the rods?

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
