328 Door Stop Problem

I know that I am not the only one who has had this 328 problem. Which is the driver's door popping when it opens and closes because the door stop shaft (detent) is making the noise behind the panel as it goes throught the rollers. My question is - Can this be fixed by taking the shaft out and dressing down the area or does it need to be replaced, or does more than the shaft need to be replaced ?

Thanks

Well, After hours of moving everything around and looking at the problem, it seems as if it is the actual mechanism which is located behind the tin plate and behind the pillar reinforcement. As far as I can tell, it cannot be properly lubricated and cleaned without being taken out and off of the 328. Now here is the problem, I cannot find a way to get it out without taking the left front tire as well as the left side inner panel off to gain access to where it is bolted on. This seems as if it is a great deal of problem just to stop a popping noise, but I like everything to be right.

Does anyone have a simple way to solve this problem ?

Thanks
