Upper Door Hinge Friction Pad Repair

I hated that my doors wouldn't stay open while i was working on the interior. I was propping it open with anything. This afternoon I had had enough! I drove the roll pin out of the upper hinge and removed the arm and the 2 pads. Pondered it for a bit, cleaned them up, pryed the pads out and turned them both over. Then I spread the arms out a little with a screwdriver and a hammer and re-assembled. They work like a champ. Doors stay open from about halfway out and closed on there own less than that. This was a BREEZE! Took less than an hour for both doors and works great, hopefully for a while!

Sorry I didn't take any pics.

Take care!

Jeff
