Door pins

[Perry]

On my 54 plate 182 I've noticed the passenger side door has dropped a touch so I was wondering firstly if this was common on Clio's and also if anyone else on here has replaced them, how easy they are to do and what they cost.

That's supposing it is actually the door pins - what else could it be?

Need to find a fix for this too, my passenger door drops a bit when you open it

it's the weight of the doors guys and them getting swung open.
slowly close the door with the handle in the open position against the catch and make sure it has dropped and isn't too high.
if it is low open it up quite a bit and get your knee and hands under the edge of the door and lift it up with a good rack! it's easy done not a hard door to lift.
if you give it to much just pull on the top of it and give it a couple of pulls down.

^ So basically what you're saying is just "swing" on the door and it'll be grand? :rasp:

I'm thinking more along the lines of tightening/replacing something in the door-shut

In my 1.2, the top pin of the drivers door fell out and went down a drain, the door nearly fell off ffs! If it wern't for the bottom pin not snapping it would of caused alot of damage to my door.

A member sent me a new one though.

Do you know what to do mate have a look at what holds the door to the car before you make comments. 2 Hinges held by one solid metal pin.
no movement, no bolts!
If you want to replace a hinge can I be there when you do?

Well I didn't know that, hence asking on the knowledgeable forum lol.
And I'm not having a go at you BTW
