Got me some new hinges

I finally got sick of having to lift up on the door every time I closed it so I broke down and got new door hinges.
Upper Drivers side PN: 55074605 $67.75
Lower Drivers side PN: 4796259 $84.85
I just noticed today that I have to remove the dash to get at the top one so I am not really looking forward to that, but I think it will be worth it. Also, does anybody know if dodge sells those metal clips that hold the interior door panel on? A part number would be helpful.

On the dash you should only have to loosen up driver's side and remove the rubber piece on side of dash if you take a flashlight you can see where the bolt's are on the Clip's try your local auto part's store Auto Zone or Napa should have em

Yeah if you wanna take the dash all the way out, your gonna have to take out the windshield. The screws that hold the top of the dash are under the windsheild seal and are impossible to get without hacking up the seal.

Door panel clips. Dodge # 06501352

Fastenal also has them listed in their auto catalogs. If you have one close by it might be cheaper. Don't waste your time looking online at fastenal. They don't have the auto items on line. But they have three large binders in store with the actual item on the card.

A Dorman 700-471 is a very close match also.

If your lucky you can find a 92 gas engine dodge at a pick and pull. I found one, same interior color and every thing. I removed all the door clips, lights, trim pieces, and whatever. That is your best way to get the misc things.

I am going to have to get some new hinges, but let me tell you I had to replace the dash and it was not a walk in the park. Thanks for the part numbers
