Door pins

[glanrichbex]

Hi

My Terrano 2 drivers door drops when opening and has got progressively worse in the past year. Where can I get the pins for the hinges and are they easy to fit? :nenau

just open it slightly, grab the bottom and bed the hell out of it upwards until it shuts correctly

Thats what I did, looks almost spot on now

You Can't get pins you need to replace the hinges

*bend

As stinka says bend, in other words put a jack under the door in the almost closed position and jack it up, trial and error, until it does not drop when opening, I have known others to drill out the hinge and fit a larger pin, Rick

Many thanks for that info - by using the jack and block of wood, are you just supporting the door in the correct positon to re-tighten the hinges or are you applying a bit of umph to bend things back to the right position?

The jack is just an easy and controlable way of acuratley adjusting the door hieght, then tighten the hinges back up.
Took me a couple of goes to get it spot on...
