    So I highly doubt this has been posted yet, and even if it does I can't search on this computer for some reason. That or im an idiot..... Probably the later. Anywho, I was wondering if anyone had some information on how to replace my back driver side door pin. Its a small pin that moves as you open and close the door. My car is 10 years old and has now worn through, so closing it is a real bear, and makes alot of noise.....

    So am I removing the whole door to get at it? Or is there a way to slide it out and then slide a new one in? And where can I get a new pin?

    I might be able to get some pics tomorrow. Any help would be appreciated.

    its been posted before.

    your best bet is to replace the whole hinge, not just the pins.

    Where would be my best bet to finding a new hinge then? And is replacing a door hinge that hard? Cause from a glance it looks like a real simple 1-2 bold off bolt on process.
