Designed to provide a secure pivot point between the hinge sections, it allows the door to open and close smoothly while helping maintain correct alignment.

What Does It Do?

The door hinge pin connects the moving sections of the hinge, allowing the door to pivot while supporting its weight.

It helps maintain correct door positioning and smooth opening and closing.

Why Does It Fail?

Common causes include:

• Wear from repeated door movement
• Corrosion and rust
• Lack of lubrication
• Excessive door weight or misalignment
• Wear within the surrounding hinge components

When Should It Be Replaced?

Replace if the pin is worn, bent, corroded or damaged.

Common symptoms include a sagging door, excessive hinge movement, difficulty closing or uneven panel gaps.

Checks & Diagnosis

Inspect the hinge pins and surrounding hinge components for excessive play, corrosion or wear.

Check door alignment and ensure the hinge bores are in good condition before fitting replacement pins.

Worn hinge bores may also require repair to restore correct operation.

What This Product Does

The hinge connects the door to its mounting structure and provides the pivot for opening and closing. Its condition contributes to door positioning and movement. This component is intended for hinge repairs during maintenance or restoration, rather than replacement of the door shell, latch or striker plate.

Functions

• Supports the door at its hinge mounting point.
• Provides a pivot for door movement.
• Helps maintain the door's fitted position.
  
  

Symptoms of Fault

• A door that drops or sits unevenly in its opening.
• Creaking during opening or closing.
• Poor panel alignment around the door.
  
  

Why Replacement Matters

Replacing a worn or damaged hinge can help address door sag and uneven shut lines where hinge condition is the cause. Inspect the surrounding mounting structure and related door hardware before deciding which components need renewal. OE Match focuses on Porsche replacement applications, including components used in classic-car restoration.

FAQs

Does either reference fit every hinge position?

Is this a complete door assembly?
No. This product is a door hinge; the diagram identifies the door shell and other door fittings separately.

How should I choose the correct version?
Confirm the body version, hinge position and side, then compare the relevant part reference with the component being replaced.
