My 11 year old son inherited a 98 4x4. We are fixing it up and have tons of projects. I was curious about an issue. The mechanism that grips the door when opening at stages to prop the doors don't hold them. My mindset is that I want to avoid door dings and can't find anything on this. Is it a warn out part that needs replacing or maybe a cam that could be adjusted? Thanks in advance!

Probably best to hit a scrap yard and harvest the door stops off one that you can see works.
