Door Hinge Botls rotating in the Fibreglass

[steve b]

My hinge bolts are rotating in the fibreglass - I have a nice grinding noise when I open the door, I could do with either fixing them so they no longer rotate (I have adhusted the drop out of the door) or ripping them out.

Has anybody done either? Can you give me some suggestions as to methods and tools?

I also need to check my spelling before submitting a topic!!!!!

Never done it but been told the only practical approach is to cut an access panel into the bodywork above the hinge, and repair it afterwards. Not a job for the faint hearted from the sound of it and not a job I'd want to take on. If it was me, I'd try taking the door right off and try to inject some glue round the sides of the bobin, if that didn't work I'd get a professional to sort it.

BTW are you sure it's the bobins moving relative to the body, could it just be a knackered bush in the door grating against the hinge bolt?

I had a similar problem when I bought my S2 from Peninsula and they sorted it out for me. It may be worth giving them a call.

When I had my Cerbera my drivers door developed a dreadful grinding sound when it was opened and closed. I couldn't actually see anything wrong but checked all the bolts for tightness. Noise got worse and worse and didn't seem to respond to any lubrication until I used some light grease in an aerosl can (Halfords). Didn't at first cure the noise but when I got in the car the next day the noise had disappeared and never returned - obviously needed overnight to think about it.

I think Lee Bee is experienced in sorting these things.

Been there done that (many times!) not a nice job but if you want it sorted I can do it for you
