Hello again,
That looks like the exterior door handle actuating rod. You should be able to get the clip that holds it in place from the dealership. In the diagrams down below I have included the instruction for the removal and installation of the exterior door handle for you. Again, please go through the guide and report back how everything turns out.
Thanks,
Alex
