Default Driver door moves freely

So the metal rod that holds the door steady when you open it broke the other day, and I was wondering what course of action would be best to resolve this issue.

Since it has been broken, now whenever I try to open my door I have to hold it open when I'm stepping out or just trying to chill with it open. Everyday I have to make sure it doesn't smack me in the face or fly open and slam into an adjacent car...Not fun
