    20130821_113903.jpgThe roller at the bottom of the driver's door top hinge is stuck. Is there a fix for this or do i have to get the whole hinge assembly? Thanks,

    Mine did that too, it made a horrible noise when the door was opened so I just removed the spring. The door will not hold open by itself now but that does not bother me as mush as the god awful noise it would make when I would open the door. Their is not much room in their to work on it as I tried to turn the roller by hand but just not enough room to get a good grip on it. The proper way to fix I suppose is to replace the door hinge.

    When I bought the 2004 GT1 for my son the driver door was making a horrible squeak. Bought some lithium grease spray and it is quiet as a mouse now

    Just go to the JY and get a replacement set of hinges off of the passenger side of a 4door, it's literally the same hinges but since the door is lighter and no one ever opens it they usually stay in good shape.
