Hello Fergy, I had the door trims off yesterday, I kinda know what you are talking about, I will have another go at it. As far as the hinge pins go, is it just the pins or the hinges as well that wear? If it is just the pins, and they arent too expensive, then I will replace them. Any suggestions on where to get new ones?
