Sagging Door

The drivers door on my Corvette sags a bit after opening, not a lot, but enough to be a little annoying. It's a typical problem I believe. My question is how to fix it. New Hinges? New Bushings? ??? Is it difficult??? Should I have a Corvette shop do it?

Looking for opinions.

Thanks in advance!

I did a search, but I couldn't find anything specific to our C-4's so I hope someone out there has played around with the hinges.

Most likely bushings, they are available at Autozone. Check the brass bushing for being ovaled out. It's fairly easy to change them out. (do one hinge at a time).

WOW.... Fast response. Thanks zr1Fred

I'll check them out and do as you suggest....one hinge at a time. Do you have to take the entire hinge off? I bet so.

No, usually you can get the pin out without removeing the hinge, but remember to scribe the bolts/hinge before loosening, if you have to remove it.
