On my 2004 Tbird, the "check arm" for driver's door is broken where it attaches to body. This means door "pops" every time it's opened/closed. Want to replace it before it breaks completely, allowing door to swing open to its max. Shop manual shows how to remove/replace and gives part number as "22886."

The Google search term “2004 thunderbird door check” returns several sources for the part for 14-27 dollars. It’s the same part for 2002-05 cars and both doors. I can’t help with installation. It may require pulling the inside trim panel to install the door side.

Thanks for this info. I have a shop manual and you're correct - the interior door panel must be removed to access the door side of this part.
