A few weeks back, the wind ripped the left front door out of my hands. There was a little sheet metal work which I've since fixed and repainted.

However, the little part that holds the door in the open position was damaged beyond repair.
So my question is twofold, 1) what is the part called and 2) does anyone know where one can be had or is there another that can be substituted for it?

Is this the part you need?

Howard that's the part. Just ordered it and should get next week.

Thanks for answering both questions. And just think, you succinctly answered both with another question.

This will make the wife very happy as I have the door panel and arm rest off and she doesn't want to drive it while it is in such a disarray.
