    I got a Maverick not too long ago. The drivers side door slopes down after i open it and I am not sure how to fix the hinge. The trunk and hood is also off with the lines and hinges also. The hood does have hood pins on it. That might be hindering it some?!? I was wondering if anyone knew if it is a bushing problem with them or more? Thanks for the Help. Oh, and I am new at this. =D

    The passenger side hinges are the same thing and usually in much better shape. Next time your in a junk yard, open the passenger side and check them out. If good, pull them, flip them over, and bolt them in place of your drivers side hinges. Also 4 door cars have lighter doors and the hinges are usually in better shape.
