Re: Fiberglass doors
No, not without a full roll cage with door bars. Generally, the doors sag when the hinges are worn out and need rebuilt.

Re: Fiberglass doors
Did you do upper and lower or just the lower pins? The upgraded upper hinge parts usually take dare of the problem unless the hinges have cracked.

Re: Fiberglass doors
If the bushing is removed from the hole and it is elongated, yes you want to replace the hinge. No new ones available, eBay, classifieds, vendors here..... You could also weld the hole back up and re drill.

Re: Fiberglass doors
Your door pins and bushings are most likely wore out. I would recommend replacing them. I have a full set to do both upper and lowers on both the drivers and passenger doors that are listed in the TGO classified section (link). I highly doubt that the holes are enlarged but as another member suggested weld and drill might be your best bet before hinge replacement.

Re: Fiberglass doors
a bit of grease goes a long way, had lots of GMs, never dealt with door sag, now doors rusting out, yes....
