I broke the spring steel detent hinge about three months ago. The piece dropped to the bottom of the door hinge (like MoparMan), I opened the door, the piece wedged in between the sill and the door, POP and took a nice chunk out of the lower corner of the door. Now for the fix. I picked-up an old hinge for $50.00, drilled out the aluminum crush fitting that holds the spring on the hinge, drilled out the one on the Viper, removed the hinge on the Viper (just the section attached to the firewall...left the hinge bolted to the actual door), had my wife make sure the door would not fall out of the Viper (simply held it in against the car). I fabricated a bolt to replace the drilled-out aluminum crush fitting (rivet), and bolted the replacement spring back into the hinge. Wala, just like new and if it breaks again, simply bolt in another one. Realigning the door was easy since I simply had to marry-up the hinge washers marks on the firewall to their original locations. I did have the Mrs hold the door slightly higher (to preload the hinge) so that when the door hung from the hinge on its own weight, it aligned perfectly. Took a couple of adjustments, but works great. DO NOT GO OUT AND PAY BIG $$$ FOR A NEW HINGE. Just fix the old one (unless the entire hinge is shot).
