manual tailgate door lock
 

Hi, when I bought my van several rods were detached from the lock assembly for the rear door. Its hard to be sure which goes where. Ive been searching online and haven't found any good images. I'm ready to go driving around looking for a friendly van owner to let me look at theirs. If anyone knows a source for an image of how it should look i would love to know about it. Thank you.

You didn't state the year of your van. It should be easy to figure out, try it one way, if it doesn't work reverse the rods.
