Abstract
The door lock assembly, the inside door handle, the power lock actuator, the various bell crank levers, and the connecting rods acting therebetween are assembled upon a module frame off the assembly line to enable construction of a preassembled and tested door lock and handle module for subsequent mounting on the vehicle door. The module frame has a longitudinal extending stiffening flange along the upper margin thereof. A molded plastic cover fits over the assembled module and cooperates with the module frame and its stiffening flange to enclose the door lock rod in order to prevent unauthorized entry into the vehicle body by the insertion of a tool between the door outer panel and the window glass to actuate the door lock rod.
