I’m getting to the point that junkyard hinges are lasting 2-3 months, and the glass is popping out and scratching my paint at the worst possible times.
Had enough today. Drilled clear through the hinge. Used a 5/16” bit on the outside of the hinge to create for a countersink, and used a pair of 10-24 by 1-1/2” stainless steel flat head Phillips machine screws. The countersink made them flush with the hinge surface.
A dab of ultra black, sent them through, then a fender washer and nut on the inside. Torqued the hell out of them, then put a smear of ultra black over the head of the screw. You could paint it, but idgaf.
These things ain’t goin no where
