Default Door handle question

Ok so the rod that connects to the outside driver door handle came out of the hole and I am guessing that the stupid plastic clip that locks it in broke. The handle is still intact and works when I slide the rod back in but it keeps falling off. Anyone know of a fix for this or where to get the platic thing that goes on the rod to hold in where it is suposed to be?

junkyard is your friend, either that or duct tape as a temporary fix to get you by.
