So I picked up this 1994 polo metallic green z28 a few days ago and I'm eager to jump onto some of the major problems it's having. One of the most annoying is the drivers side door. It's drops down after opening a bit and I have to get both arms on the side of it to lift it up and close it. When I'm inside it's even worse lol. The previous owner gave me a "hinge repair kit" I think is what he called it, but none of the parts look similar to anything on the door hinge. I can't find any hinge repair kits online that look like it, and don't wanna spend money if I have what I need already. Any and all help is appreciated, thanks.



This is the \"hinge repair kit"

 

looks like what is on rock auto except for the long bolt. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...hing+kit,10711

 

yea this does look its it. I had my neighbor who owns an ls1 swapped 69 camaro and who's a retired mechanic look at it, he said it looks like the bottom inside of the door with the hinge is attached is caved in, so whenever the door is moved up and down the whole door comes off the hinge. Looks like the hinges are still attached to the car though. He said best bet is to find a door without this problem on a parts car and swap it, I really don't want mismatching panels though.

 

most of the door is fiberglass, you may be able to repair and reinforce with glass work. other then that without seeing it I can't really say for sure. door is going to have to come off and like your guy said door may be a complete ****show and need replaced.
