Went to visit my dad on the coast in Sequim and had a massive gust of wind wrench open my driver door. (Worst damage my trucks' ever seen!) any way, when shut- it rests normal, but the vertical pin holding both halves of the hinge moves. Easy fix with a junk yard part? Or , Dun dun dun- Body shop?
Thanks, George

you need to replace the pin and the bushings.

get the kit from advance auto parts or any other chain.

 

Hey, thanks. I'll check it out tomorrow

 

just go to the salvage yard and get ne hinges check and make shure the door aint bent i was unloading my truck off a dollie and left the door open f'ing bmw made it go the wrong way had to get new door and hinges

 

Man I could make so many jokes about the title of this thread but... I'll just keep my mouth shut

 

yeah i though the same thing

 

Thanks for the advice on that I got the pin and bushings-a $6 part-but the pin is being a real pain. I used a Dremmel so I could cut the pin and remove both halves without taking off the hinges. The top half is lose but the bottom is another story. I may have to wait until dayight again to take a closer look at it. Thought it would be easy peasy 30 min tops, but never the case.

 

I have done this before. It can take a little while, but it shouldn't be extremely difficult. It is easier if you have a helper to hold the door while you are doing this, especially when putting the new pin in.

 

Thanks Tex. I had visited my cousin the other day he's a mechanic and he told me basically the same thing-use a floor jack which i plan on doing now.
