Door Hinge Repair Kit

[rallye340]

I bought a Door Hinge Repair Kit from Classic Industries to fix the sagging driver-side door of my Challenger. It doesn't sag much, it's more of an annoyance. Has anyone had any luck with one of these kits and if so what type of suggestions might you have with doing the repair?

Does the kit not come with instructions? I've not reviewed the kit, nor have I looked at the directions.

There is a guy on this forum that rebuilds door hinges and does a superb job. But the market for this is dwindling, and he seems to do them in batches. I recommend you use his service and have all your hinges rebuilt. If yours is sagging and it bothers you, I recommend you use his service. A search on this (and the e-bodies.org forum) will give you the data to find him. I've worked with his hinge rebuilds, and they are very nice.

He does more than replace the pins.

@moparleo is the hinge repair guy here that you need to contact.

Nope no instructions, that's why I'm asking.

Maybe the market is dwindling because brand new replacement hinges are available. A complete new set (both doors) from Classic Industries sells for around $200.00. Also I don't want restored hinges because my Challenger is in original condx and isn't a show car or even going to be a show car, it's a driver and survivor.

Thanks

New door hinges are junk, they’re made out of soft metal.
