Default 72 convertible Door Alignment Guide

I need to replace the female receiver "bullet" alignment guides that are on the door jam of my 72 vert. I've been looking thru the vendors but haven't been able to find them. Does anyone know if they are available and what they are officially called?

Hi G,
The AIM refers to it as a 'housing'.
I believe it's typically referred to as the 'door alignment pin receiver'.
Various vendors have it.
ZIP Products item # DR-348 for instance.
Regards,
Alan

Perfect, Thanks Alan! I found it listed at my favorite supplier (CA, Item #22562, 1970-1975 Door Guide Receiver Assembly. Convertible)
