So now that I have bought a threaded rod, I have just tried mounting it and I have a new problem, which is not really easy to explain!
My door only has the top threaded rod installed, I need to mount the bottom rod.
The threaded rod coming from the bottom hits a bracket inside the door and as a result, the door mechanism does not move freely. The rod hits a piece of horizontal flat steel that is part of the bracket inside the door, next to the door handle. So, this is obviously wrong.
So, I am now wondering where the top and bottom rods must screw: the shaft onto which is attached the door handle has 2 "cubes", with threaded holes which receive the threaded rods. On my Suburban, the rod from the top went to the "cube" that is towards the inside of the truck and I am trying to attach the rod from the bottom to the "cube" closest to the outside door skin. This is the set-up that does not work.
Is this correct? Or should I swap the 2 rods to the other "cube" in order to solve my problem?
Or, am I missing something else?
Thanks
