      @initialspeed hello, when I put one spacer the problem got worse, but when I put 1 spacer in the higher bolt, one on the lower the problem was fixed for about a week, then went to being wprse again. I am currently testing to see if the wd-40 helped or the spacers, because at the same time when putting them in I sprayed some, and before it used to help. In conclusion: helped but with some caveats. Thank you 😊

      ​@@cipsasmiaumiau3773AHH man. Sorry it didn't fix it. Maybe try 2 in one spot. Like maybe the upper one and if it doesn't fix it try the lower.
      Other than that, maybe the hing is just gone.

    Nice solution. I did not think of this until I bought a new lower hinge and noticed it had an extra shim plate included.

    Thanks for posting this video. I bought an Audi with a little damage to the RF bumper and that door drops when it opens. You've laid out options for me.

      Is there anything else you need a hand with?
      Or you can watch all of the fixes and what not that have been done to that car.😁
      Enjoy the car....and the channel.

      Sorry for the delay. I did shims on both top and bottom of the lower Hing.

    inner/outer diameter of the shims? You didnt feel that was worth mentioning?

      @initialspeed  5 місяців тому +1

      Lol. They are just washers.
      Pull the bolt out and take it with you to your hardware store and get the right one.
      I can't do All of the work for you. Would you like me to come over and install them as well?

      Possibly.
