I'm going to head out on a limb and say yes. Meanwhile I'm off to an FSM to try and figure out the "what" that you need to do to it.

Sorry... FSM section 10-9-1 says nothing about the sunglass holder. Someone with experience will see this soon.

Little wire thing???
probably a spring coil that is broken.
1. is the little hook attatched the the door. if not, it broke off and you will need a new door.
2. can you see the tiny square part that the door hook goes in to.
if so. does it move. if not there has to be a spring broken inside.
3. if it is # 2 try to move it with a pen or something to close it and not use it.

While were on the topic, why doesnt my car have a sunglasses holder. It has the part thats just naturally open? My friends 99 SE has it, could it have to do with the middle front being a seat instead of the floor shift?

Do you have the overehead console? Maybe the door is just missing.

Is the hook supposed to be where the door hooks shut? If it is they sent me a defective part.
