'03 Front Driver Door Hinges
My front driver door has begun to sag slightly. I want to get the hinges replaced. I wanted to know if both the upper and lower hinges are the same? How much should the two hinges cost? How much should the repair cost? Will a dealer do this repair? Thanks in advance.

Usually the body shop changes the hinges, although some dealer do body work as well. Have you tried adjusting the stricker?

The striker is the metal part on the frame the the locking mechanism clips too. It is the only meta part on the middle frame.

Are the upper and lower hinge the same? I was looking on courtesynissan.com and they only specify driver and passenger...

Hinges
If you grab the door with it half way open and you rock it up and down, is there play? If so, that's usually a hinge issue.
I have older GM cars and this is an issue because the doors are typically very big and weigh quite a bit. On those, you can replace the pins and bushings in most cases and you're good to go. Not sure on the Nissan, I believe it's not serviceable in that regard. |

yeah there is a play...i think it's the bushing coz it looks like already worn out...
I have another issue with my 03altima..after locking, the alarm goes off maybe after 30-40 minutes sometimes sooner than that...my security light does not lit or flash in any way.. |

Are the bushings replaceable all do you just have to get a new hinge. A hinge is only 17 dollars...

Hinge
Doesn't appear to be "serviceable" from what I can make out as per the attached.

Yea...I guess you just have to buy two hinges and have them put on. I'll have my buddy do it at his body shop. Should be easy. Just 4 bolts per hinge. Then door alignment.
