Non-factory alarm double locking

[quickervicar]

Little rod going from lock cylinder to latch mechanism (top looks like a little shepherd's crook). It unlocks the latch when turning the key but will just fall out of the hole if the lock pull or actuator are used. I'm thinking that I'm either missing a clip or the rod is broken. I'll check the passenger's side, but I figured that it was different due to the emergency-unlock feature.

BTW, since you are an E36 guy, have you seen the E36 "Trunk Pop" write up?

Haven't seen that one. Got a link?

back to the original post, i thought e30s only had electric double lock on passenger door(s) and trunk? the drivers door is a manual double lock only, so it wouldnt be possible to double lock it with an alarm.

I just gotta spend more time on it...I still say it is stupid, but I don't own a 'vert.
