Here are the pictures from my car, the design of these is pretty rubbish, I spent a lot of time fettling these to get them to work properly, the hole in the sill had to be elongated and as Nick said the bend in the rod is crucial, get it round the wrong way and the door will not close. The rod must not bind against the hole in any way over its travel otherwise again, the door will not close properly.
The whole arrangement of the off-set alignment of the door hinges and the door restraining rod is so badly designed I do wonder what on earth they were thinking of!
