another door hinge question

ok guys im having major door dropping and scrapping along my ground effects. is it easier to replace the hinges or get the pin kit? i can lift the back of door and it moves around alot when i wiggle up and down. it also "drops" when i open the door, and its hard to close. where can i find these parts? links would be great!

Re: another door hinge question

The lower hinges can have their pins replaced, but the upper cannot. Due to the design, the upper was not meant to be serviceable. The original hinges were supposed to be replaced as a whole unit, not for the faint of heart. However, Lon over at top down solutions has a great fix for these upper hinges.

The upper pins take some grinding to remove, they aren't meant to be serviceable, but with all the kits available now, they are. With your doors in that kind of condition, the lower hinge might need to be modified or replaced.
