I get my hinges from Luke at US Coach...1 888 262 2434 Remember not to use patroleum products to lube them when you install them. It eats the rubber..I use KY. Also make sure the door isn't warped...Cable |

The ones that Jim mentioned work very well. A friend of mine used them and has never needed to replace it since. Bill |
