Thanks in advance.
If it were me doing it i would remove the door so you can get at the rust easyier or you could get a we dremal and bucther it that way..? :unsure:
That door hinge looks pretty easy to unbolt, so I would take the door off. Otherwise I would be afraid of causing damage to the hinge pillar and rocker while doing the repair. Plus it would be very difficult to work on it like that and try to do a proper job.
What kind of vehicle is this?
That’s just the tip of the ice berg. Might be a lot easier to find another door.
with a wire brush an a can of krylon :rofl :rofl
Why bother fixing it? Close the door and you can’t see it :rofl
But seriously, to answer your question – I wouldn’t. That type of hinge is so easy to split (undo bolt, lift off), that there’s no reason not to remove it.
Huh I replied in morning, where did it go? :blink:
Thanks all for reply. Since the water may have been entrapped behind the door, there is a really good chance it has been rusted through. So as Han mentioned, a new door might be needed.
This is a 2001 BMW 530i i was considering buying, but with the asking price and the few attention the body needs, its not worth it to me, especially if it needs a new door.
