I need some help - I have the new hinges, but can't see how to get the inside nut on the upper hinge. I have removed the side panel by the drivers door and getting to the lower hinge should not be an issue (albeit there is a couple of electrical connectors that need to be moved out of the way), but I can't even see the upper hinge - it's behind some insulation, so I popped the plastic body pushnut out...still can;t see it, but i believe I can access it. I'm considering getting a borescope (at least that's my excuse for getting a borescope!) to see what's in there.
1) has anyone tackled this job and have any advice or tips?
2) Has anyone used the Dorman 38395 on a 94 or 95 mustang? I am very confused about these kits - some places (LRS, for example) list them only up to '93 mustangs and they have the full door hinges for '94 and up - that's why i bought the full hinges. BUT, I have seen some youtube videos doing the hinge pins only on later model cars (t-birds, etc) - replacing JUST the pin in the upper might be easier if I can't get tips on replacing the hinge that does not require ripping the entire dash out.
3) I CAN remove the instrument panel, if I knew that would get me access....anyone?
To recap - the upper hinge - how do I access this to remove, or is pin replacement easier (and O.k. on '94).
Thanks for your help.
