Actually I was wondering the same thing on and off. On my 2002 TJ it has
this softer metal insert thing in where the pin goes. When I was
replacing the door one day I messed it up (bent it a bit) and the door was
stiff for a while until it just mashed itself back into shape I suppose,
as it works fine now.

At the time I was wondering if this was something that was replaceable or
if it mattered. I have concluded with time that it did not matter enough
for me, as it is OK now. Bob's question does have credence tho.

I would recommend to Bob that if he mashed it up and the door pin still
goes in, to just give it a bit of time and see if it works itself out of
being trouble. Mine seemed to.
