    Door Hinge Problem

    I took my door off today to get at some rust that was building in the hinge. The lower hinge was seized so i got the torch out and gave a heat up and it came out quite nicely. Only problem is that in the hinge theres a sleeve made out of some fiber stuff that came out with the hinge. The rust had messed it up bad. Is there any way i can get a replacement sleeve and install it into the hinge because other wise my door will be totally messed. Unfortunately this sleeve came out of the side of the hinge thats welded to the car so...i cant just junkyard another hinge part.

    Thanks

    Go buy a replacement hinge kit from the dealership -maybe 20.00 it has a graphite fibre sleeve in it.

        I also have a 98 S90 and the same happened to the driver's door, so now it will not open. I check around, if I hear of a way to fix it, I will know, and would appreciate if you let me know if you find a way to fix it.
