Fits on the body to hold the door fully open.

hi... no i dont think its that, i think its actually inside the door, seems to come from inside the door and then latch onto the u bend of the sliding door, it feels like it has a wire or something to do with pulling the door away from body as u open it

early slider , prob the spring has come away as the lugs break, post up a picky as its a bit easier than guessing
