I think my car hates me.
So I was all excited that I fixed every little problems with my car, literally no issues, and my doors decide they want to sag.
It's so bad I can see it scraping the ground effect a little because of the bottom of the door.
My question is, when the doors start to sag, what is it that causes it? Upper or lower hinge?
Will this kit fix my issue?

Thanks

Re: I think my car hates me.
It could be either hinge. If you are replacing the pins, might as well do both. That kit should do it for you!

Re: I think my car hates me.
I have the same problem with mine (my silver ground effects have turned gold)... If it's that bad you should be able to see the problem hinge... but I believe on mine the bottom one is worst off.... $60 is way WAY too much to pay for that, unless you like burning money that is 
Rock auto sells these kits for $2... you can also get them at you local auto parts store.

Just dont try and do the job alone (unless you have a door support tool for a jack). a beefy friend will work wonders.

Re: I think my car hates me.
I just bought this:
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1261450
at pepboys for $4 a pack. O_o, but at least I got it already and don't have to pay for shipping.
What about the upper hinge? Where can I find parts for that?
See, I got the pin and "bushings" those copper looking inserts, but what about that roller that the springed/latch ridges against? It looks all lopsided with the door open, I wonder if I need to replace that?
Where can I find that?
Thanks
