I think I snapped the thing thats between the top and bottom hinges in my 2000 Grand. Does anyone know what this is called, or where I can get it besides the dealer. Its the thing made of plastic that holds the door open. It makes a popping sound, and the door (passenger) is binding when you open and close it. If I put my finger on it, and open and close the door a little, you can feel that its whats making the noise.

I've replaced that on another car (chevy van), but not on a WJ yet. Stuff like that I get from a junk yard.

Have you tried spraying some silicon lube on it? If it's like most, there's a roller in there somewhere. I'll check in my FSM for details.

Here's what the FSM says:

Yeah, i've tried spraying it, i'm pretty sure its cracked inside the door. I had the one on the drivers side go a little while ago, and the part was like $35 at the dealer, but I want to try to find it on the internet and hopefully get it cheaper.
