Hi all, I am looking for this part number to order.
Recently I had a cyclist hit my door as I was opening it on the front driver side. Thankfully he was fine but my door actually broke.. let me explain.. the part (is it a hinge?) that holds the door open doesnt work beacause of the impact.. so when I normally would open the door all the way, there is this mechanism that holds the door open for you.. that part actually no hangs limp from the door..
Sorry if I am being repetitious.. :)

I cab try to post a pic if necessary, I want to save money and want to order the part online so my mechanic can install it for me.

Thanks

Hi there,

The part that you are looking for is called a "Door Check Strap" Now that is what we call it in Australia, but i feel it will be the same there.
