I received a pair of the "Connectors - Handle to Link Rod" from MGOC Spares (£3.95 each) earlier today. They are almost certainly 3d printed items, but none the worse for that. Furthermore I am 95% certain they are identical to the connectors as fitted to CX Morgans 2019 - 2023. I cant be 100% sure because I do not propose to remove my lower door card and go through the rigmarole of fitting one to further check it out. But having done so a number of times quite recently - while fitting replacement door speakers, sound deadening and fleece - and having taken plenty of photos, these connectors look identical apart from being black as opposed to white.
Davetherave my apologies if this rains on your parade in any way, but hopefully it is positive news that may save you the time and expense of a limited run of 3d printing.

We already have taken many hours developing a suitable replacement, the redesigned clip is also 3D printed but it has been modified and strengthened to prevent the known issue of disconnection and/or warping of the connector, it is also of a suitable 3D printing material to take the forces. FYI the first 3D printed units using normal 3D printing materials failed. Version 18 will be going into test mode in two weeks time when my car is available.. It will then take a few weeks of testing to insure the design works. This will also test the actual ID of the clips holding channels, which have to be the right dimension to hold the rod size that Morgan uses.
Its a free market and up to everyone which to choose.. the idea behind the redesign is to overcome the issues with the present design and the non availability as such from Morgan.. The modified unit shown on this post is way more expensive due to the input time of the 3D developer.
