My driver's side door is not working properly. When I go to close or open the door the motion is not linear, it is very jerky at one point and makes disconcerting noises as well (popping sounds). I have included pictures because I can't imagine explaining this otherwise.
Upon closer examination, and by comparing it to the normally functioning passenger's side door, I can see that the middle hinge is nor working properly. At the point it connects to the doorframe, it moves in an left-right motion, and causes the popping sound.
I can't find what holds this hinge to the frame, I would like to try to tighten it ofcourse. I don't think it is welded, there seems to be hollow space behind it.
Can anybody tell me how to tighten it down again, or is this fix going to be harder than it should be?
I colored part of the hinge red in the first picture because this is the spot I can see moving in an in-and-out motion when on the passenger door it is comletely fixed and still during closing.
