How to Replace a Car Door Hinge

- Here's how to fix a droopy car door by replacing worn out hinges.
Loose door hinges are caused by bushings that drop out of the pin, or a worn pin. This causes play in the hinge, witch can translate to a large drop in the door height, and the door not aligning properly with the latch.
Replacing the door latch is the easiest solution. Hinges can be sourced from the dealership or from a junkyard as in this case.
Hinges are hidden behind the fender, which needs to be removed completely to gain access to the bolts connecting them to the body. To remove the fender, the inner fender liner, headlight and bumper must all be loosed to make way.
The main tool required for removing the body panels are a 10mm socket. The door hinges use a 12mm bolt, one of which may be accessed using a ratcheting wrench. Hinges should be lubricated after replacement to ensure long life.
This was demonstrated on a Toyota Sienna but is applicable to other vehicles including Toyota Matrix, Corolla, Camry, Avalon, Solara, Highlander and Lexus RX350, ES350, ES300 and RX330 and more.

Great info! Good camera work too. Can't tell you how many repair videos I've seen with bad angles or lighting. You've really got a great channel going here.
Thanks
Yes I try to do things differently
I will never do this. I never wanted to know how to do this. I watched and enjoyed every second as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
almost 100k subscribers. keep up the good work.
I'm sure closing in on it soon. Excited!
Absolute joy to watch. An object lesson in how to get instructions across without timewasting. Most people would take 20 minutes or more to get this across. Fantastic edit. Now, where are my spanners?
Thanks for the kind comment
Just taking my courage in both hands to do this job on our Nissan Tino 's driver's door- I'm hoping similar process to Toyota. Had bright idea of getting second - hand hinges from Germany (lhd) to fit to my UK (rhd) car. Hope this will mean they have minimal wear in comparison.
Somewhere there is a designer / engineer who is proud of that mess! Well done as always Speedy!
They build them for manufacturing. Not servicing
your videos are thrapeutic
Glad you found them useful!
Thank you for taking the time to create this video and give me (and others) a clear tutorial on completing this auto repair. I do not have a toyota sienna but I need to make this repair on my nissan altima. I was going to order hinge pins and bushings and repair it that way. But, after see how you did this without disturbing the door alignment and most importantly without having to enlist the need of a helper to hold the door while it is unattached to the car when replacing the bushings and pins I will follow your example and make the door repair your way...... God bless
Very good video, kept everything easy to understand and got to the point without telling us your life story and what you had for lunch. Thanks
Glad you appreciate my video style
What a brilliant video.
I wish I found this before I tried changing my hinges
Thanks
Thank you so much for helping us through videos ,
You are welcome
Really like your videos very helpful and informative keep them coming
Thank you, stay tuned
Great Job Sally!
Thanks bud
you make car repair look so easy :)
It is easy
Your reaction to finding out that the bolts were loose cracked me up lol. I'm going to have to get this done on my Altima as it looks like I also have to replace the whole hinge since the pins cannot detach :(
Yep it's quite the job
was helpful and eventually worked out the hinge I bought is drilled for not the vehicle I have thats filled in half a day trying to work out why so I traced the old one and put the new one over it and traced the bolt holes not the same at all video was a big help had to pull mudguard off to find the wrong part
Very well explained.
Thanks
You are welcome!
Thank you so much because of your video I just replaced my 2006 Honda element drivers door bottom door hinge for 50 bucks everybody want it over $300 to replace it,Just takes time And patients
You are welcome. I'm glad it helped!
Thank you so much I learned a lot about the car
You are welcome
I used to have an old two door Honda civic with that problem, I know how annoying that is.
Yea heavier doors on the 2 door contribute
0:30 SWEET MAYBE SOMETHING I CAN LEARN HOW TO DO!
0:43 FORGET IT, I'M SCARED
You are right , so many things to remove
that is so me
I did that on my car a few years ago. Luckily I did not have to go through all that trouble. Can't recall exactly but I think I was able to replace the hinges without taking out the fender. I did it one hinge at a time just like you.
Nice tutorial. I would encourage anyone mechanically inclined to try it. its not that hard and the door will not fall off on you.
Cool, what car was it? It would be tight to work behind that fender, I peered up from the wheel well and said there was no hope lol
@@speedkar99 nissan sentra. Just had a look at the car and it seems I had to pull the fender. Which means I had to unscrew the front light. I do not think the bumper had to move. Didn't seem that hard because I am generally slow with these things and it got sorted in a morning so under 2 hours.
It was a second hand car I bought and the door drop was as bad as the one you show so there was no choice but to change them out.
sssssssssszzz
Super amazing and smart ! With the door closed
Almost 100k, hell yeah brother
Yes I'm getting up there thanks
Great as usual. Can you make one about the electrical system covering the basics; headlights, brake lights, turn signals?
Good tip. What exactly do you want to know about the lights, how to replace them or how they work?
@@speedkar99 Yes, location,how the wires run to the back and front components, basic troubleshooting. I know there are videos out there, but yours are outstanding.
Good job always
Thanks
Great video. Thank you!
You are very welcome
#Roadto100k keep up the good work!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks
What to do to celebrate the 100K?
Hello, thank you for the video.
When I replace the hinge it does not hold goon enough. The door falls down. Should I use a sealant or epoxy? Or should I just tight stronger? Thank you!
I have Camry 2004.
Thank you and well done.
You are welcome
I only have an issue closing my door on jack stands. I have to lift it slightly to close it. Is this worth trying or is my issue likely gonna be body flex
Good job.
Great video. Thank you. I have a question, are the replacement parts new OEM or new aftermarket ones? is It a good idea to use a used oem from salvage yard?
Got mine from the junkyard
Verified they were good before pulling them
i bought 2 used good hinges from the yard for my terrain lined up pefect .all works like new $ 30.00 bucks
Awesome. If the front fender door gap is too tight after a previous collision can the inner frame hinge be brought forward or the door hinge side slaced out with washers?
Yeah but washers is the cheesy way to fix collision damage.
"I'm just gonna use my brother's toothbrush here..." 😆
Haha
Thanks
Will this same information apply to a 2010 smart car? I need to replace my upper hinge
i have a toyota previa and the drivers door hinge is really bad, is there a way to change out just the pin or do i need to do the whole hinge
Thank you for this video where can I find the hinges at for a 1995 Chrysler lebaron? For both doors
You are welcome. I got mine from the junkyard from other compatible vehicles. Check your part number interchange, it might fit other more easily found vehicles.
Thank you
You are welcome
Hello, nice video. Just to know, where you got the parts from ? Or parts number?
great video. thanks.
my 2009 Honda front door edge is catching the fender. loose bolts or do I have to replace the hinges? any suggestions
Either the hinge is loose (lift the door up and see if there's play) or it needs adjusting
@@speedkar99 thank you.
The door was solid, no play. It was the fender which for some strange reason got pushed in. There was no accident, it happened gradually, mostly last night when the car was parked in the driveway. No signs of any force contact. I've removed the liner and pushed out the fender. I didn't feel any loose parts but the fender was replaced 2 months ago. Are there any mounting points which could have been missed in a body shop? The mechanic didn't give me a straight answer :(
good jobs
God bless you angel
0:29 the struggle is real
I know right...
not a mech, but I do enjoy watching...🛠
Glad you found it entertaining
how to change hour meter reading plz must response
Awesome
3:45 great reaction
Rev up your toothbrushes..
Haha good one!
Jajaja
Very impressive!
Van needs to wash.
Badly needs a wash...want to volunteer?
Better quality fender liner clips than on my Hondas.
Ugh...reminds me I gotta nab a few more next time I go to the junkyard
@@speedkar99 I got a bag of cheap replacement clips from Ebay. No good. They crack in winter. I'll have to try the junk yard too.
I'm just wondering when it rain out hard did lots of rain water get in to to ride with a saggy door
No
He uses that toothbrush as a pointer like a maestro conducts his symphony.
Yes it's my own symphony
Respect for fucking with plastic parts in the cold. Sketchy!
Yeah it was cold out...but these hinges couldn't wait until spring
@@speedkar99 I hear ya. The lift-n-slam gets old fast.
Wah.Am the first! 我是第一个！Thank you. Great video!
You are welcome
@@speedkar99 Hey, Sir, I have a 99 Corolla exactly like the one you killed before. It has two EVAP code P0441 & P0446. I live in Toronto, do you recommend I take it to your place and help me to fix them? or you suggest me to kill it like you did in another video? LOL. Thanks.
Good video! Now that van needs a wash 🧼 it is filthy
Hey it's not my van...mine would be way cleaner
I have a question, is there any way to just reaplace the pins on the hinge instead of the entire assembly?
On the gen3 Sienna's they sell a kit to rebuild them
@@speedkar99 Kwel thanks.
👌👌
I wonder if those dorman hinge bushings are any good
They don't offer for 2nd gen sienna
@@speedkar99 are you sure? Maybe it's not listed in the catalogue but I know dorman has assorted hinge bushings in one pack
He said my brothers tooth brush 😂 lol
How to fix o2 sensor problem P0420? I have been struggling with it for 4 years in my corolla 2014. Please help.
So you've been having this problem since the car was 1 year old and you didn't take it to the dealership ?
I have a video for p0420 check it out
Thank you for your reply. I bought the car from an auction website and i have no idea about its maintenance history. When i checked the catalytic is empty so i think the previous owner removed what is inside of it. i tried the spacer but it didn't work. i just saw your video for the p0420 hack. should i used it or do you suggest me to do something else?. would really appreciate your help :D
I´m a little unhappy that you did not use your brother´s underwear this time. How is the ES300 working?
Haha! The underwear works best for greasy situations!
I don't have an ES300.
I did almost every thing but it still didnt work. I guess the tooth bush that i used was not the appropiate one.
It must be stolen from a sibling you don't like
My passenger side door will not shut properly unless you slam it really hard. What could be the cause of this?
Misalignment or the latch itself
Try adjusting the striker latch
What a load of faffing around. The Toyota design engineers really excelled themselves.
It's design for manufacturing
Is Canada a very cold country?
It's cold but not Arctic cold where I am in Toronto
On a sunny day in February you can lay out on your back yard ice rink and work on your tan.
This winter has been unusually warm here in the west, we never dipped below -10c
👍👍
Uhm axial play? I'm sure its radial play.. Just saying... whether its wrong or right, correct me though.
Thanks for the correction
The toothbrush of knowledge!
Teach-brush
@@speedkar99 - Even better!
What's up with the toothbrush?
My sidekick
Next Step : a car wash.
Minivans...🙄
What’s with the toothbrush thou?
Maybe I finally fix it in my car... ?
Me too
Colgate like's this video.
Time to make my own toothbrush
Dang it toyota making it that tough to replace a hinge.
Made for manufacturing
Yikes what a pain in the butt! Is this common for Toyota’s or something. I have 200K on my Highlander but never had this issue. Maybe just owners closing the door excessively hard?? Thanks for another great video. How’s your brother’ s teeth doing? 😀
Yes it's common on Sienna's and Camrys from what I've seen in the junkyard
Oops I lost my 10mm socket
That's important
Looks expensive
To remove the door hinge just remove the engine.
These videos look old.. my bad it's the toothbrush, LOL
C'mon
How can I improve the look of the videos?
@@speedkar99 read my comment again, hahah. I blamed your toothbrush not the look of your videos...
Wash that car!
Minivan owners...
