I'm not sure what this part is called. It is right under the top hinge and it keeps the door open when you open it. This piece broke recently and I didn't realize it until I seen it but after that I had realized that for a couple weeks now when I open my door it won't stay open, it swings closed freely. I need to replace this and I was going to do it myself but I don't know what the part is called and cannot locate it on the web. Any help or ideas beside just taking it to a repair shop? :bonk:

Ah, I see it now. Thanks. Have you ever replaced this part. I didn't take the rubber boot off to see how to get that side off. Other side is just two screws.

Damn, 53 buh for that? What a rip. If that's what it is, that's what it is. If I don't get it my door is probably going to end up hitting something from opening up too far.

And, I don't have a clue how it happened. Probably my freakin' wife. Every time she drives my car(s) she does something stupid. LOL:suicide:

Maybe try a junk yard:m2: We hit The one in Milford where you can walk around and pick your part.

You talkin' about u pull u pay? I've been there for a rear upper third brake light for my wife's van. They were organized but at that time didn't have anything compatible. I'll check again.

Me and Majestic go there every once and a while to scope out what they have. There are some Trailblazers and Envoys there.

I found it at GMpartsdirect.com for $43. Just went ahead and ordered it before something happens to the door or hinges.
