Default worn door hinge? 94 Vette

Hi Folks
My 94 passenger top door hinge has some play...enough to allow window to hit door pillar when opening ( have learnt to lower window before opening now!)
Can the hinge be re-pinned or serviced or do I buy new one?
Thanks

You can buy and replace the hinge pins. The pins are about $5.00. You keep the door closed. Remove the fender and take off one hinge at a time. Replace the pin and put it back on in the exact same place.
You may need a vise and grinding wheel to get the pin out of the hinge. Someone posted pics and instructions here some time ago.
