for pre-update owners, like me, he notes the fix for the front is to fit a post-update part

And that is what I figure. With the shipping they cost me like $19.50 each.
I am retired too and even though rear doors are used less and boneyard ones probably would be fine I figure screw it.
Even if you could get them for $5 each I figure at that price.....
I am hesitant that they are actually OEM but seeing how I can't find any aftermarket ones........
Also I might be swapping in a more rust free passenger side rear door in my '00.
So I figure while I am there use at least one of them.

I replaced the front door check brackets with junkyard rear door brackets that looked like brand new. Nice tight fit for the pin. Now they are like buttaaaaaah. Smooth and quiet. Gave me a reason to hang out in the garage too, so Win-Win.
