sulzerman Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hi all My drivers door has dropped, needs a lift as I close it. I removed the door and top and bottom hinges are both knackered. I fiited a new pin but the hing is worn. The part that is bolted to the door is worn. Any suggestions? Oversized pin or good replacement hinge (if i can get one)? Anyone else had same problem?

Pete Lewis Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 over size must be worth a try as the hinges are welded on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyman Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 The old fashioned way (customer with no money) was along piece of wood under door then jack up small bit at a time till door shuts nicely. Not the correct way, but it does work... Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonMember Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 On the Rover Metro production line there was a highly skilled fitter whose job was to shut the door, look at the window frame gaps, open the door, grab the top of the window frame, put a knee against the trim panel, give it a good yank and shut the door again, now with nice flush window alignment.
