Title: Drivers side lower door hinge
Post by: Aussie Skylark on October 08, 2023, 05:33:30 PM

Hi Buick Fans,
I was cleaning up my door hinges and realised my driver's side bottom hinge with the spring is broken. looks like its sheared off a roller and the spring is long gone.
Would anyone out there have one they want to package and send over?
Thanks Marcus

Thanks Chuck,
I keep getting promised my car will be painted by Christmas, so I'm working on all the small parts I can in preparation.

It's a nice little reminder every now and then that I'm working on something I cannot salvage parts off a wreck in this country.

Thanks Again
Marcus

Hopefully Chuck can come through for you.  However if all else fails, that hinge is reproduced.  My trusty wagon has the hinge from Original Parts Group:

Unfortunately it is a bit expensive.

Cheers, Edouard

At $59.95 I consider that in-expensive for what you get.

I certainly agree it was worth it in the case of my trusty wagon.  I believe the driver's side hinge broke only a few years after we bought the car.  It might have been broken by the previous owner, I was too young to remember.  For decades I've been afraid the driver's side door would come slamming back on someone and hurt them.  I had the hinge replaced 13 years ago and continue to be glad I did!

Cheers, Edouard

Sorry Marcus. I don't have any hinges left. Good luck with your search!
