2000 Safari cargo rear door check link

Since I use the Safari as a work van, I've worn out the check links and check link brackets (as the GM factory manual calls it). I've checked a few online parts places, notably RockAuto, and even emailed them, but can't seem to find any, and the email response was they didn't know what I was referring to.

I don't have clue what else to call them, it's the parts that stop the door from finging open and also hold the door at a 90 degree angle. Anyone have a suggestion for getting these parts, save from going to a dealer?

You might not be too shocked by the dealer price for these items. I've been pleasantly surprised by the reasonable cost of a few things I bought from a local GM dealer. Not only that I got next day delivery for stuff they didn't have on hand.

Agreed. I find my local Chevy dealer to provide most GM parts at competitive prices. Even if you don't get the kind of discount I do you may still be quite surprised at what you can get from the dealer.

Have you tried a salvage yard? Not everyone uses the rear door as much as you do.

Guess I'll have to go that route. Wish my dealer was friendier than yours seems to be. I get charged roughly double for the same item from RockAuto. It's actually more convienent for me just to order what I need online, though.

Thanks for the help!

I buy a lot of GM parts through my local Chevy dealer. I get very good pricing from them. Even with that in mind, I'm often surprised at what the retail price is for people that just walk up. You are correct to a point though - dealers can charge whatever they really want to - or better stated, they can discount as little or as much as they want to. Finding a dealer that will cut you a deal is a worthwhile endeavor.
