Hey does anyone know how to refresh the door hinges on the Mk III? You know what I'm talking about, the age old hinge that slightly sags and you have to lightly slam the door to close it. Is it a refresh or does something have to be tightened? When I say refresh I mean replaced.

If the hinges are bolted securely, but there is slop around the pivot you should just replace them.

You can try loosening the bolts on the frame side, jack up the door a bit and retighten the bolts and see if that helps... sometimes it's all that's needed, sometimes you just need new hinges.

Well if it turns out that the hinges are bad, how difficult is it to replace them?

If you remove the fenders, it's REALLY easy. Smile

I have actually removed the fenders before on my old supra and I'm not a fan of trying to remove that screw that holds the front of the fender on.. and then I'd rather someone else do it ya know..lol.
