Wondering if anyone has a long term review of stainless steel door hinges?
Thanks

 

What do you need to know please? They are expensive (the good ones) and work good and do not rust and are hard to get paint to stick to unless a good etching is done first.

 

i want to know if they actually solve the corrosion issue know with the factory aluminum hinges. was thinking of getting some black ones but theres lots out there to choose from.

 

Stainless does rust but so slow that SS hinges would be a problem on the Jeep for your grand kids. I want to replace my rear door hinges and I just spray Fluid Film in mine and they seem to work fine year in year out. I would still lube SS hinges as well. The better sets seem to be in the $7-800 USD range for a full 4 door set - 1/2 obviously for a 2 door but you get what you pay for. If you strip the factory ones, use a good etching primer then spray body colour again then I am sure you won't want the Jeep anymore when they rust again. Hope this helps

 

If the corrosion issue is the only thing you're looking to solve, I use the delrin inserts for the hinges. The factory inserts were pretty well krusty, but I haven't had an issue with the delrin ones, been using them for about a year now.

 

Think im just going to sand everything down and refinish them. Then get some silicone sheets to use as a gasket between door and hinge AND/OR spray some sort of rubberized paint or Flex Seal on. Project for the summer.

 

Generally, matte black door hinges are recommended, which are stylish and durable.
