    Anyone have a source for these two driver's side door linkage clips, circled in yellow below:

    one's orange, the other pinkish/lavendar

    I just got back from Autozone, O'Reilly, NAPA, and Advanced Auto, no one has anything close.

    Thanks...one of the two from Toyota would probably work on the door handle linkage, but the other (pink) one is on the lock linkage and is different...

    This might be the one. Looks a little different but maybe worth a $3 gamble.

    Here's the parts diagram if you want to check, looks like it's the one labeled 69759H but you might want to verify that. Hopefully this link works:

    I appreciate all the help, thank you!

    As you can see, the clips I think I need from your links are only $5.10, but shipping is 3 times that...I'm going to try my local Toyota dealership tomorrow to see if they can get these and save the shipping $$.

    Again, thanks for all the help.

    I got a combo pack from another Autozone. One worked, one didn't. I just put what was left of the one for the door latch rod, put it all back together, and everything works fine. I won't need oem clips unless the ones on there completely quit.

    The problem with ordering something like these online is the drawings are so rudimentary, and you never know if you're ordering the right thing, based on those drawings.

    Thanks again @CrustyTaco - at least I have a source if/when it's needed.

    Update - I ended up getting the linkage clips shown in the cart above from a local Toyota dealer for $7. The orange one matches the one in that location on my truck exactly, the pink one is close and I think it will be fine. Now to remove the tinfoil & glue solution the PO 'fixed' it with.
