I don't know if it's just me, but I have always been bothered by the weak door detents on the H2. Sometimes I have passengers who will accidentally open the door with way too much force and the door comes flying open. It would be nice if the door detent would actually slow some of that force down and also hold the door when on a slight grade or in strong winds.

Does anybody else feel the same way about this? And is there a solution for this?

 

Both my front doors are the same. The rear doors do not have the same issue. I've actually thought of replacing the door hinges or buying new stops but you'd have to pull the entire door apart. I have still yet to come across a proper how to on removing the door panels. I tried just "popping" mine off as some have said but it felt like things were going to break so I abandoned that idea.


Seems as if the stops are too long as they do not actually stop the door hinges from bottoming out if you want to call it that.


Definitely interested in finding a fix!

 

Not sure if this is the same thing but 1 of my doors has zero opening/closing resistance. Like it won't stay open if there's even a slight incline.

 

That would be the same part we are talking about.

 

This is why our lower map pockets are always broken, the door goes shut on you as your jumping out. Your hinges are worn, a nice fresh upper hinge would fix this.

 

This why I am letting a body shop replace mine.

$326 total was what I was quoted. Includes new GM upper hinge, painted & installed.

 

ak47dennis, do you have part numbers?
