Door hinge alignment pins?

[Sportslover10594]

Just seeing if anyone has an opinion on these alignment pins I found on Amazon. It sounds good to me but kind of concerned it only has 2 reviews. Thoughts ? Thanks

Are you talking about these $72 door alignment pins with 2 reviews?

There was someone on here selling them at one point. I just use the ones that came with my Bronco....

Yeah Kim that’s the one. What do you think?

It's a cool idea and probably works for the intended purpose.
But personally I don't really struggle with reinstalling the doors.
Some times are effortless and some times you have to adjust your angle a bit, but never something I thought was a problem that needed fixing.
But I do understand the design and intent for these, and they would definitely (seem to) help with that aspect.

Thanks Dave. I only took doors off once and my concern is misplacing the little door alignment tool that Ford gives you.

No problem.
And yeah, this design would definitely help with that.
As well as just having it there and skipping the time to install/remove it 4X (for us moar door folks).

Hold up

There's an alignment thingy in the tool kit? I've always just put them on without using anything. It was a little fiddly at first but I didn't think it was a problem that needed solved. I guess I've never really looked in my tool kit, that's neat.

I've had an issue tightening the door bolts/nuts after re-install. I thought they were properly tightened, only to find after a few days the doors were making a noise when opened/closed, because the bolts were loose. I had to tighten them down a second time.

Keep in mind, these appear to not need removal once the door is on. So it's like the guide pin and bolt all in one.

 

[Sportslover10594]

Yeah is that a disadvantage?

I wouldn't think so. I would want to know about the ability to still torque to specs. Aside fom that, should be good.

I picked these up at the Bronco show in Pigeon Forge last year. The pin that Ford includes has to be removed and you only get one. These are designed to stay installed and work great. I have a 2 door so didn't have to buy 4. I struggled getting the doors back on without scratching the paint and these alignment pins definitely helped and are much easier since you don't have to take them off.
