door hinges
Next week I'm putting jk in shop to have door hinges repainted in which jeep is going to take care of it an need to no f anyone else has had a problem with theirs. The problem I'm having is that the hinges are aluminum an somehow the aluminum is starting to carrode an is bubbling the paint out.
This is a common problem! I had the dealership re-paint mine when the Jeep had 32,000 miles on it. I went to the dealership on Saturday to show them the bubbles again! I now have 81,000 miles. They took pictures and said they would let me know what Crystler says! I know of two other Jeeps (friends of mine) that had them re-painted as well.
Very common. One half of the hinge is steel the other half is aluminum. Add any moisture and you get galvanic corrosion. The less noble of the two metals essentially sacrifices itself (the aluminum) thus the bubbling you're seeing. How the engineers at Chrysler missed this is astounding. I've had mine painted once and all that paint is falling off again. idiots.
