| Door Hinge problems |
Rear passenger side door bottom hinge is not functioning properly. This makes it difficult to close the door. When the door closes it doesn't stay shut since it doesn't close fully. The hinge is a two part system, it cannot be greased of lubricated. To correct the problem the entire bottom hinge has to be replaced. This part is welded on to the van, making it very expensive to replace the part.
