Tailgate lock question

Tailgate lock question
On the tailgate of my 855, there's a small rod that runs from the lock cylinder to the latch assembly.
On my car, it has popped free from its latch a few times. It slides into a grommet, but the rod is smooth, as is the grommet, and I'd really like a way to retain it.
Do they all just slide in? Or is there something missing or broken here?
Has anyone found a way to retain it so it can't fall out?
I've replaced my tailgate shocks, and put a repair kit on the tailgate panel.. so until the shocks wear out again, it won't be slammed anymore.. but if there was a better way to retain it, I'm sure it would be good!
