If you are talking about the part of the hinge that is attached to the door, the hinge is riveted to a support behind the outside metal; these rivets "pull out" or come loose from rust so the hinge can move. You have to cut into the door to expose the structure for repair. Both of the doors on my '41 need this repair on the lower hinge. I should be working on that in 4-6 weeks. I've been searching for better doors for 1 1/2 years; no luck. I wish I could be of more help.
