Howdy peepoles,
Have a major amount of sag from the drivers door hinge/slop and rattle from the door latch/ and consequential rattle from the drivers side fast glass window. Anyone bothered to fix these issues and how did you do it? I know the latches letting the doors rattle turning the interior light into a stobe light is a fairly common patrol problem but id like to make mine one without. I like my waters crossings with the water on the outside of the vehicle ha ha
sounds like worn pins if not maybe try 2mm thick washers in behind the hinge mounts on the bottom hinge to lift the door slightly to realign the door there is a silicone spray that you can buy to spray in the runners of the windows that makes the rubbers swell slightly to stop the windows rattling dont know if these will help but if it sounds right for what you want then give it a go ???
yeah mate cheers, i hadn't though of chucking spacers into the bottom hinge, i might have a gander at that. Same with the spray, i really didnt wana be tryin to stick my head inside the door to fiddle with those window rails. I dont spose anyone knows where i can get hinge pins from?
So the door hinges are flogged out ???
Thats what ya mean by door sag ???
If so Rod '"The Ferret" can supply rebushed hinges on an exchange basis
(Contact him for more info)
Door hinges flogging out is a patrol issue on MQ/MK/GQ ,GU onwards dont care
Yeah im hoping that it is just in the hinges. If i cant find some pins i might have to give old mate a yell. Cheers buddy
Replacement hinges & new bailey channel is the way to go...... Its a bit of work but will last for years so its worth it IMO.....
Good advice. Has any tried the spacers idea? How did it go.
mine had the same problem, i bought new hinges on ebay and got new bailey channel for the window from rare spares. works great. Changing the hinges was a pain as i basicall had to take the guard off.
Yeah, I had the same problem and had to change out the hinges. I managed to do it without taking off the guards with an offset ring spanner with a 5 degree ratchet..... only took me 20 minutes per bolt! ;)
A bailey channel, which bit is that? Just so i know what to look for? And im still tryin to get ahold of the ferret, no luck so far
