The roller that the detent arm rides on to hold the door open is shot. Any know the part number for a replacement pin and roller? I have looked at aftermarket hinges but they do not include the detent arm or roller...

thanks

not a G body but this is what my roller looks like..

The hinges I put on my car came with it. Are you sure you aren't looking at a lower hinge. I bought my hinges thru Rock Auto but they were classic auto repops or one of the other big guys. I don't really remember.

I'll take a look at Rockauto...thanks

I'm also looking.

I don't want to replace the whole hinge, just the roller pin.

New hinge.
Or you can do a cheap repair like I did on my Regal.

I have never seen the arm separate only with a hinge. I imagine they usually have a similar service life and the fact they are staked on mean most people can't change them anyway. So they probably only come with a hinge assy

Mike's work out to around $150 by the time it gets here and that if it slides through the border with no fees... :popcorn:

I like your repair idea....thanks...:)

I figure it took about an hour once I came up with a plan and the pin kit costs me $7 but the parts I used were just the leftovers that I didn't need for the lower hinge.
