Door lock rod clips

I'm looking for a very specific clip for my car - or perhaps a solution to the issue with my existing clips.

On my 2002 GP GTP, the passenger door lock switch has been "sticky". So I pulled off the door panel and the lock mechanism seems fine, but I think I narrowed the problem down to the fact that the lock rod has "play" within the clip that holds in on the door at approximately its midpoint. Here is an example of the clip I'm referring to (highlighted with red): https://ibb.co/h0QQyv

Searching the internet, I only find results for "Door Lock Rod Clip" none of which seem to be this particular clip: http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/dorman-help-door-lock-rod-clip-assortment-75473/22190045-P

I've temporarily fixed the problem by shoving some plastic wires into the piece so the rod moves more straightly, but I'm wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem or if a replacement plastic piece would fix the issue? I haven't checked the driver's side yet to see how that clip fits the rod...

Results online for "sticky door lock" only tell me that my locking mechanism is broke, which it isn't.
 


The part you need would be had from a junk yard, and maybe the dealer. Check the for sale section here as there are some cars being parted out.

The "door rod lock clips" are what attaches the rod to the handle or lock.
