There was someone reproducing that check arm piece. Haven't seen them
advertised for some time though. I would remove the remaining piece before you
do further damage or someone is injured. I'm betting the star wheel problem is
the inner mechanism is all gummed up.I had a 64 that the drivers door had this
problem & either refused to shut or would fly open while driving. I finally
discovered the works were full of rust & crud. Once freed up, no further
problem.You may be able to do this by spraying something such as WD-40 or a
penetrate & work the handles & lock till it frees up. If this doesn't
work. You will need to remove the inner door panel to get inside to give things
a good cleaning. The penetrate & an old toothbrush work well here. I've
owned 4 63's & have had lots of practice with doors & windows. They are
relatively easy compared to 64-66 Imperials.

Subject: IML: passenger door
OK...
so friends dont like to ride in the 63 Le Baron
because the passenger door has some problems..first off, in the hinge there is
a little metal hook device that holds the door propped open and prevents the
door from opening all the way.. that little hook thing is broken in half and u
can not shut the door unless u stick your finger in there and put the piece
back into the hinge slot. so i either need to remove it or fabricate a new
one..anyone know how to do that? also the little star(?) gear on the door jam
that catches the car body to hold it closed doesnt work well and u have to
spin it with your fingers a couple times to help it hold the door shut. i
think alot of the problems that are the most annoying on the car are the doors
and windows.
