BMW part # 41 51 1 922 737

Has anyone installed this kit? My drivers door doesn't set like it should on the vert.

Any incite is appreciated.

Nobody?

Well for those interested, I found this:

It would be great if that could be copied and sticky-ed here. My doors are starting to have that old car sound to them. My gas filler flap is the worst, wonder if there is a similar fix for that?

I don't really see a need to sticky this, there are links to DIY's here:

You may post the link there if you wish.

I done it for the passenger side, its a pretty straight forward process. Hammering the broken spindle or pin (whatever you like to call it) was my major problem, but I just got a really long screw driver from some hardware store and hammered away.

Just remember to examine how the parts are installed before taking it apart; last thing you want is to install everything in the wrong order (unlikely).

As far as adjusting your door, I had a friend along side to assist me through the process (he lifts the door at increments while i tighten the hinges).

I was planning on doing this too. Has anyone found it cheaper than $9.66? I'm going to try holding the door up with a jack & doing them one at a time if there's enough room. That way I won't need to re-align it.

I just did it on the passenger side, very simple. The new hinge is a little stiff, so it takes some coaxing to get the pin out, but not bad.
