Anybody ever used hinge kits
Hey I have two questions. One, has anybody ever installed one of those hinge kits I've heard about for the upper hinges. The other question is where can I get them. I don't want to tear the old hinge off the door to bolt a new one on there. I've tried the lower hinge pin and bushings, and the door still hits the striker pin. I even took it to the dealer bodyshop to watch them use the "door adjustment tool" (BFbar) to bend the door up. Anyway any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated

Here is a copy of a recent email from a customer:
i received the kit yesterday in the mail. it took me about 2 and a half
hours to instal, using basic handtools and a dremel. i installed this kit on
the drivers door. my cxamaro is a 1991 rs, and the door itself came from a
1984 donor car.
i am a basic mechanic. i know very little about machining or body work.
this is a first time for me getting this technical with a car door.
after installation and adjustment, as per directions, the problem this kit
was supposed to fix, did an excellent job. i am most happy with the results.
i will recommend this kit to all other f-body owners i know.
thank you ,
