    the rod probably cam out of the mechanism... there is a metal piece that turns and clips areound the rod to keep the rod frm coming off... this could have fallen off.. look on the inside of your door for this part if its missing... you might need a magnet...

    but look at both doors to see whats not looking correct...

    The locks would get stuck on my first Comet often. You can bend the rod a bit and fix it, seems there was an adjustment as well. We had to pull the door panel to get the door open.
