Ok , looks like your short rod with door lock knob connects to a pivoting bracket. The long horizontal rod in your picture of the door is also conected to this pivoting bracket . On the other end of this long rod is another pivoting bracket . This bracket is located above your door latch assembly but not attached to it . This is where your mystery rod i believe attaches. It connects on one end of the pivoting bracket and runs down vertically and attaches to the door latch assembly. The difference i see between power and manual is the length of your mystery rod . On power that rod is longer . It runs past the door latch assembly and connects to a power accuator below in the door . A bracket attachement mid way at the latch assembly is then connected to this longer power window rod . This is where it appears your manual lock rod would end and attatch to the latch assembly. I dont know if i can get pics . Its tight
