my hinges broke today :-(
my '04 hinges are about ready to go, very hard to close now. fleabay looks like an option, i'll check with the dealer because i also need those rubber stops, and from the sound of it those way over priced washers, The rubber stop on top never stayed in and i wonder if thats the 'root' problem, maybe it placed to much stress on the hinges without them? Anyone? Dealer parts heck its all 1000% markup.
This might be worth reporting to DOT, not that it will do anything but this seems like a safety issue with the glass everywhere. Maybe someone else down the road my benefit.
My hinge is in bad shape and could break anytime. I noticed it because it seemed the rear hatch was having a hard time closing. I am wondering if this might also be why I am getting the door ajar message. Thoughts?
