Where to purchase a new driver side door prop?

[stu64]

My 95 Grand Prix's driver side door is driving me crazy with the damn clicking....I narrowed it down to the door prop. Does anyone know where to purchase a new one? Or do I have to go to a junk yard? Thanks for any input.

i got a spare one for a 4 door car if ya need one.

 

BTW: if you go to the j/y to get one get one off the pass door, less wear on it.

good to know that they are interchangeable....

When these things go bad, replace them in a timely manner.

 

Sometimes, when they break, they tend to tear the sheet metal from the door. When this happenes, there's no longer anything for the prop to bolt onto.

GM calls them a "check link" and new ones run about $15.00.

 

I've seen more of the newer design broken, but they actually work to hold the door open on a 2dr, even on a hill, while the older design doesn't.
