My freakin doors are so hard to open now because when you do they drop like there ready to fall. How do I fix the famous heavy door problem?

 

Replace the door skin with carbon fiber, lexan window, remove the power motor, who needs door panels...


As for the sagging door issue, go to TDS (sponsor link at top of the page) and look for their lower pin/bushing kit. This is usually the main culprit and the cheapest to fix. If it still sags buy the upper hinge kit.

 

It's the lower hinges.IMine did the same thing so I ordered a new hinge kit and it fixed it.You can get them from hawks.

 

Hey thanks guys. hey im also thinking of putting the Corvette grand sport decals on my front fender. Do you know anyone who has done this to a third gen. I think it looks awesome because its a nice simple touch

 

I met a guy at a gtg with one.It looked ok.

 

is the kit form TDS hard to install? I want to fix my doors too but Im afraid of starting something & not be able to finish it. what tools are needed to do this job other than the kit they sell?

 

Its more expensive than i thought, but i dont know maybe i just need the pin and bushing

thanks

 

I only paid 25 bucks for mine off ebay.

 

the lower hinge pins are easy. basically just pull out the used pin and insert the new pin. if you need to do the upper bushings, those are more difficult. i would say you definately need a die grinder. you need to grind off the old bushings first. i tried doing it with a drill with a grinding bit, took forever. once you grind off the old bushings, it's pretty easy, just assemble the new bushings.

 

You said they sag after the "drop" so are you saying you lowered your car then the doors now sag? Sorry but i am thinking of lowering my bird and i want to know if this is something ill have to deal with too

 

Nvmind but how come they are all the sudden hard to open did the door hindges not just break on ya or what?

Sagging doors doesnt just "happen" in an instant. They gradually drop over the years.
