85 XJ 2Dr Door Hinge question
My drivers side door has begun to sag to where sometimes I have to lift it a little to get it to close and latch correctly. I have been looking at it and I don't think it has replaceable pins, is that correct?
Do I need to get the complete hinge for this model?

I had that problem, but not as bad as that. I shimmed the bottom hinge a bit, on the door, to raise the front. which seems to work OK. Welding a new one on, with the wiring to the door etc could be a real fun job, like supporting the door when it's off, to replace the hinge....Sure is a lousy design...

Thanks. I was pretty sure the older ones couldn't be replaced that easy. I guess at the time they didn't plan on them needing to last 30+ years
