I mixed it in one go. It doesn't take long to do them all

Hi,
I used a small amount of chemical metal placed in the torx hole with a small screwdriver and put a 5mm ball bearing in each one, then wiped away any excess. |

So what's the plan if the door needs removing?
Glad my doors aren't desirable |

In the highly unlikely event that a door needs removing you can dig it out with a scriber but it will take time!
The whole point is it sends a visible message to any would be theif who is after your doors or the complete vehicle that you have thought about security. |

Yep that’s the plan... never had to remove doors of any car, so hopefully nothing changes.

Use a damp cloth for a smooth finish

Doors may not need removal but the mirror is held on with the door hinge

The LR hinges need replacing on a fairly regular basis too.

The hinges from the factory have a pretty poor finish I notice or is it just me? I assume it's due to manufacturing purposes but all the same I've never had a problem with mine. Chillin In The Backwoods🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰💪 Last edited by custom90 on 4th Jul 2018 10:10pm. Edited 1 time in total |

The standard hinges are pretty rough castings.

This guy goes to great lengths to smooth out the rough finish on Defender door hinges
