Hi everyone, The door pin/bush that's in the top Hinge on my drivers door keeps dropping down after a few open and closes of the door (I then need to tap it back up with a hammer). What's my best option for fixing this? Can you get oversized pins, or will I need a new Hinge, orrrr other suggestions? Cheers James |

If the pin is falling out and it is right way up (knurl at top) the hinge hole is worn out. |

Would some form of Loctite product work on that? |

The knurl on top end of pin stops it falling out. But I have seen hinges fixed with nut and bolt, or even a broken hss drill bit.

As Kevin said there are 4 different hinges & you cannot mix the hinge sections or should I say you should not mix the hinge sections the hinges are usually stamped UL, LL, UR, LR or they may be numbered 1 & 2 Together 3 & 4 together 5 & 6 together 7 & 8 together |
