Trying to locate a "Door Hinge Roller Detent"

Anyone found a good source for this part? I picked one up in the local store and it was too long.

The detent roller and pin are not replaced separately. You replace the door roller detent by replacing the half of the door hinge that mounts to the door.

You got to be kidding me! It was hard enough to find the hinge pins. (BTW, Thanks Lon - They arrived today and are on the car already).

Someone must sell the pin and roller combo. I bought one in the local "Help" section of Autozone but it was the wrong size.

The dealership lists the roller - but not the combination. I need to go down there and look at what they got on thier computer.

Maybe you'll get lucky and find someone selling a combination of the correct detent pin and the 200 ton press you'll need to install it.

The one I found in Autozone was a drop-in with a C-Clip to keep it from slipping.
