    Abstract: Replacement hinge pin and a method of installation allow door hinges of a motor vehicle to be repaired at low cost. Repeated opening and closing of the door results in wear of one or more of the factory-installed hinge pins and the bushings or apertures that support them. This wear causes the door to sag out of alignment with its striker and latching plates causing additional damage if not repaired. The repair assembly includes at least one hinge pin and associated hardware to position and retain it. The method of replacement is extremely efficient and cost effective when compared to the standard practice recommended by vehicle manufacturers.
