Rear doors question
2004 e-350
Ive searched and searched but dont know what they are called. Im sure this topic has been discussed many times but im just not stumbling across it.
Its annoying me that the rear doors keep getting blown shut on windy days. What type of hardware can i install on the doors to keep this from happening? it seems as if theres some hardware midway on each side but its disconnected and missing parts. please dont tell me a bungee cord lol..
Thank you

The bracket you are showing is the door check. That keeps the doors from opening too far. I never had anything other than a cuttaway, I assume that to be the case. I guess they could keep them open as well.

Sorry about the image size but something like this is missing -
It goes into the door from the inside and the sliding tongue attaches to the spring clip thing in the jamb. It's both a limit and detent.

Those parts can be found in the scrap yards for cheap---depending how deep your pockets are! 
Ford's part numbers are:
F3UZ-1527204-A Check Arm (part shown above) $43
F2UZ-1527218-A Door Check Bracket $15
(Prices and part numbers as of 2010)
There are Torx head screws needed to install them.
Lube the extending arm before installing on the back side so it rides in a gob of lube as it extends and retracts with the door opening/closing.

You are missing the parts that hold the doors open/keep from going too far. Not sure how well they keep from blowing shut. Maybe they work better new than mine.

Just a bit of advice for down-the-road repairs or maintenance on these parts....
Use a bit of anti-seize on the bolt threads, especially the smaller Torx-headed pieces. As seen in the photos those are subject to rust---along with being very soft and the Torx recess being easily stripped removing them can be quite a chore later on.
Thanks for the photos KatorRanger!
