the 3 inch flat metal part in the picture below keeps the door from opening too far...I have one on the passenger side but it's missing from the driver side. what do you call this part and where do I get one?
Any tips on installation?
Thanks

New here. Is it hard to install? I have the same problem but on the passenger side. Also are they interchangable between driver/ passenger sides? |

parts book shows same number left or right side.
My 70 is a screw fit, my 60 is in hibernation for winter so I can't check that one.
