Replacing door pins/hinges...headaches...
I'm gonna have to replace the doorpins on my camaro,as both doors sag and are sometimes hard to shut.
Can I get the pins from the local chevy dealer? IS it the pins that cause door droop? Or is it the hinges??
If I decided to just let the chevy dealer fix the problem,how much am I looking at spending there? I know the pins are like $20 a door or something...
Help is nice! Thanks!

Howdy there, well the on the bottom hinges you may be able to simply replace the bushings, or the pins and bushings to fix them if the holes haven't been wallowed out too much. The top hinges are another story alltogether. You need to replace the entire hinge with constitutes drilling out the welds that hold them too the door and bolting on replacements which is absolutely no fun at all, and leaves a lot of room for mistakes. Or you can custom devise your own pin and bushing set up for the top as I've seen done. Neither solution is easy at all. I dont' know what the price would be to have a dealership replace the hinges, but it may be worth it to have them do it to save on headaches and heartache. LOL My opinion from my experience.
