Remove the door trim.
Release both the lock rods from the lock rod retainer.
Position the upper lock rod first (see fig. 1). Postion the lock rod in the retainer so that there is a 10 mm to 12 mm, or about 11 to 12 threads showing, from the end of the rod.

Position the lower lock rod in the retainer where it rests, usually 5 mm to 6 mm of thread from the end of the rod after the upper lock rod is locked in place.
