as you can see, the bottom bolt/nut broke off, i dont know when or how, and everytime i open the door that whole piece gets pushed into the door from the broken bolt and snaps as if the top bolt is getting ready to go too... is there a replacement part i can buy? what is this piece called?

thanks for any help!

i don't see a picture..

I don't see a pic either, and can't tell what it is from your description.

no pic from me :(

gonna need a picture........door is held on with several bolts,at least two on top hinge and two on bottom hinge........gonna need pictures

ok i guess i put the pic wrong... lets see if this works:

that doesnt hold the door in place, that right there is what prevents the door to not go all the way out when you open it. what you need to do is go to your dealer or to a junker and find the same part and just replace the one in your car. its not that hard, just take off your door panel and take it out trough there. hope this helps

yea i figured that thats what i need to do... im just gonna go to the junk yard and get one off a tc that i've seen there instead of going to the dealer and pay probably triple of what the junk yard will charge! any chance of knowing what this part is called????

What color is your car? Looks orange in the pic.

yeah hit up junk yard,should be able to get that piece for under $20 f you pul it yourself probably less,cannot remember what it is called for some reason i am drawing a blank.

thats because it is, it is custom

It's called a door check. And there is an updated part because it could bend easily before they fixed it. 05-07 used the old part. Here is the tsb (tech service bulletin)

thanks! ill go to the dealer and see what they say...

Ya, thanks for that! :)

I wasn't aware of the issue, sad to see, but at least they acknowledged it via tsb.

^^ yeah it looks like if you keep the nuts on the door check snug then usually it won't bend on its own. But unfortunately the problem happens when those nuts move, shut the door.. pow! there goes the door check :( glad i could bring it to your attention (Everyone)

I have the same problem... I wonder how much cost each piece...


Thankx for the TSB :)
