Thread: New door hinge?

  1. #1

    New door hinge?

    Can you buy new ones or is there a repair kit? We adjusted them a couple years ago and it worked but seems to be acting up again...

    Door hinge says it fits 2003 -2010 Will it fit a gen 2? Does the repair kit fix the sagging? They way its worded is it fixes the door from swinging back on you from a broken spring.

    The Repair kit is for a Broken or weak door Spring (the part that holds the door open). It has nothing to do with a sagging hinge.

    If sagging only problem, would readjust. Goes easier if you have a door cradle or an assistant with strong, steady hands.

    You are correct, part numbers for Gen I & II different than for III & IV...but, as I recall, they had both.

    If they're sagging plastic surgery can work wonders.

    I didn't see both listed but maybe I missed it. Did the adjustment a couple years ago and it worked but seems to be creeping back...rather just fix it right with new parts. Hopefully this isn't a cam sensor situation lol...

    What is a cam sensor situation? if it's sagging again just adjust it again (definitely need a 2nd person or you can make it WORSE)! If you have to Re-place the part because it Broke, that is VERY Expensive!

    Here is the easiest way in fixing a sagging door. I did it, and did it myself. You do not need any help. Get a bath towel and close the door on it, on the bottom, double it up first. Then, loosen the hinge bolts just enough for the door to adjust to the new height you created by putting a towel and closing the door on it. If it still needs more of an adjustment, fold the towel up again and repeat. It worked perfectly for me, until a year later, the door spring broke, and then I made my own spring, drilled out the rivet holding kthe broken spring, tapped the hole for a strong screw and put in the new hinge spring.
