Door adjustment

Post by Weedhopper »

Well after fighting the driver's door swap out yesterday, turns out the top hinge was bent. There was less of a curve in the replacement. I finally compared with the old stiff hinges and found the problem--curses. What I want to know is why does a 30 minute job always turn into a 4 hour job, and how in the world can you bend a slick's door hinges?? Have you ever seen a better built, heavier hinge in your life :?:

Easy.
Parallel park & open your door - moving car hits it. Tweaks hinges, but fool of a PO just replaces the door & keeps the old hinges...
Just a guess.
Glad to hear you got it figured out!

People hang on doors, pull on them to get up in the truck and use them as look out points. Over time all metal will fatigue and most truck owners are not the slimmest. :oops:
