Dang Door...
New to the site, so forgive me if this was a recent question somewhere else on this site.
Have an '01 Blazer, got it two weeks ago. The driver's side door, though, seems a bit loose.
Squeaks, jiggles when open and you shake it from the bottom, weather stripping is letting air in (makes that godawful noise at 40+ mph).
I've heard this is a Blazer tick. It hasn't been hit or anything; the door's just loose. Closes funny, but closes fully.
Is there some way to adjust the hinges or is it the pins?
Help—

No ajustments, you need to install a new door hinge pin kit (Top & Bottom of the door)

Yup, I concur. Your hinge pin bushings are probably shot. Take a look at the hinges while a buddy picks up on the tail end of the door. If you see things move, you need new bushings/pins. Run a search, you should find more than enough information.

Yep. That's it.

Also use dealer parts for the repair. If you keep the truck long enough you will replace them more than once, but at least GM parts last a little longer. Korey
