When WRV went to the taller roofs on the '08 and '09 coaches, they changed to a different front door that uses that hinged bar with the small half-circle slot on one side of the hinge that catches a small post from the other side when the bar straightens out as the door opens. There is a small 3/4 circle of metal that looks to be spot welded inside the half circle that's cut into the bar. When the small post goes all the way into the slot, the 3/4 circle has to spread open to fit around it, then closes back up just enough to hold the post inside. My door opened hard from the wind and the small 3/4 circle was knocked out, so there was nothing to hold the small post inside the half circle and the door wouldn't stay open. I had to buy the whole hinged bar to make it work again. Got it from Guaranty in Junction City. Sorry, the work order doesn't give a part number. They called it a "Check Strap" in one spot and "Check Locking Posi Lock" in another place. They said I got the only one they had in stock. Cost $179.00 just for the part.
