Door hinges
« on: 24 April 2008, 20:01 »
The door hinges seem to have dropped on my drivers side door and has been letting air whistle through when going more than about 40 and is really annoying!!! Is this a common problem and does anyone know where i could get some new ones?

I think the pin might have just rounded off at the bottom over time on mine and just let the door sag a little but im not sure where to get some new hinges from

Yup common problem, more common on 3 doors as the door is heavier. Get them from the dealers, you buy them in half hinges (they aint cheap though)

Mine make this wind noise, but they dont look like they have dropped and the seals look fine, or am i being a bit blind?
