Re: door hinges

GM replacement hinges require you to un-wire and remove the door to remove and replace the door half of the upper hinges. I sell two aftermarket versions which are easier to install than the GM version, TDS 200370, upper hinge repair kit (non-greasable) $74 or TDS 201370, upper hinge repair kit (greasable) $96. You remove the door and retract it just enough to remove the old bushings and install the new ones. It's all covered in the enclosed instructions.

These are well worth it, I redid mine with Ionsal's kits and they work great.
Much better then trying to replace with GM replacements.
