Wrangler tailgate stopper?

I have a 2006 Wrangler Rubicon and the tailgate will just swing open, not closed, but open and will not stop. It has swung open and broke the top part of the tail light. The plastic pieces on the top and bottom of the tailgate hinge are broken. Are they what is supposed to stop the gate? What are they called, and where can I find them to purchase?
 

No idea. My yj had a stop on the exterior and had an inside sliding stop to keep the gate from swinging to far or closing on you
 
My '06 LJ does not swing so easily that it flies out and hits the tail light, but it does not have a stopper. I believe you can buy aftermarket. I think I have seen them on Quadtratec.
