I had a look at mine tonight. How did you attached it to the lock mechanism?

Hmm, I didn't see any plastic rod. I tried attaching to the metal rod at the bellcrank but it tended to bind the assembly up.

I'll have another look in daylight. I might have to strip the plastic dust shield sheeting off the tailgate so I can have a proper look inside instead of through the small opening that I've made.
