So maybe because the car is old, or could be the chassis but I honestly kinda doubt it. The door sags a tiny bit just enough to hit the locking portion. I went to try and see if it is a bad hinge and it seems like it is it. I can move it up and down and feel some play.

Can these be repaired or do I have to replace them? Where can I find them for a good price? Rockauto does not have them. Is this common for our car?

 

There is bolts you can tighten. I had that issue on my 97 GXE.

 

Did you fix the problem? Where are the bolts?

 

Do you think it is the bracket bolt? because I think the pin is where it is coming from. I dunno. Can you tighten or adjust the pins? I doubt it. I guess I will try your suggestion I was gonna try that as well to be sure.

 

It's at the front of the door. There is a hinge on top and bottom. Each one has two bolts. I tightened though. My driver side door improved but still had a slight issue. But it definitely improved.

 

I will check that. For some reason I doubt it will be it, but who knows. I will let you know how it works out.

 

If the hinge itself has play in it, replace it.
Dealer item, there cheap.

 

I tried tightening stuff and it didnt work. I even tried having someone lifting the door slightly while i tighten, and there wasnothing there to tighten, all was tight enough.

 

how cheap are we talking? I need too of them. If they are more then $20 bucks they are not cheap imho.

 

i believe they are about 12-17 bucks each.. not REAL bad, and not OVERLY common to fail, imo, either.. but sometimes it happens!

 

I had the same problem on my drivers door, and tightening holding the door on worked!

 

i had the same issue went to the junkyard. Got new hinges and it worked out great

 

I need these, but they are $34 each. And you need upper and lower.

 

Ok....are the highes right where the car specs are)weight, color code.blah blah.) or is it in that little corner just before getting to the SE emblem.?

 

They are the hinges and Pins, come as one unit, that are the problem. Do search and there are plenty of threads on this. I have the same issue and just havent really taken the next step to order them from nissan. Cheap ?? Definetly not cheap, try $35 a hinge and you need to remove the fender to replace them.

Yup.

Thankfully I didn't have to do that. Tightening them worked for me. My previous car (that had this issue) was salvage so probably wasn't as tight after being fixed.

Good luck.

 

Hey whats up Matty!

but yeah, that sucks you have to take off the fender. I need a new one on my pass side. At least those are mad cheap. lol
