    Hello I'm really in need of a drivers side upper door hinge for a 76 electra. If anyone has one or info on parts interchange I would greatly appreciate it.

    Hollander #179 (Upper)
    '71-'76 Large GM cars
    '71-'78 Eldo / Toronado & likely Riviera (Hollander is sketchy on Riviera, but am including it)
    '70 - '81 Camaro / Firebird (Might be best route to take as repros should exist)
    How bad is yours? Perhaps as Gary D says, yours can be "re bushed"
    Do have access to a pair of Eldorado's (75 - 78 ish) in local yard

    Thanks much everyone, my hinge is missing the spring and wheel, I didnt think it was a way to save it. I did find a upper eldo hinge on ebay. Thanks much I'll keep everyone posted because the entire door is dropping and binding with the rear door.

    I have goodmark hinges on my skylark. I would not buy again.. the passenger roller assembly snapped off and I had to replace. All the hinges are starting to wear and the doors drop a bit. No shortage of grease either.
