Door Bolt Issue

[ev's TJ]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a replacement door bolt for my wrangler? I broke it off tonight while reinstalling the door. I looked on a bunch of websites, but none seem to offer oem door bolts. Any responses would be much appreciated.

I just bit the bullet and ordered them from the stealership. A couple guys will post up and tell you some hardware stores, but I took the convenient route.

Junk yard perhaps? Or the stealership.

Junkyard would be my first call.
Your in DC, give Casey at Belvoir Auto Salvage in Marshall (Exit 30 something on I66) a call. 571-215-3212 Describe what you need, he might have one.
If your going to call a stealership, give Lt. Dan on here a PM. He'll let ya know the cost for it.

the only problem i see with junkyard bolts is that its likely you will run into the same issue of maleable metal.

X2...that is one of those things that it is just better to bite the bullet and get from the dealer.

What door bolt are you talking about? What were you doing to break it? Having a hard time picturing your problem.

If it's the bracket he probably either rounded it out or broke the head off. I drilled the heads of mine off, so I think I'm picturing this right.
