I posted before about my '92 Sentra having a saggy driver's door.
the lower hinge is worn out so the door "clunks" when opened or
closed.

I've debated fixing it, but I put a lot of time into fixing
other stuff on the car when I got it, and had lots of problems
with bolts snapping off, even though I am very careful in working
on it- 176K and 17 years in the Rust Belt tend to make fasteners
rather fragile.

So, I let it be. In the past month, however, it has developed a
new trick- the door doesn't shut all the way, if you don't notice
it, it leaves the warning light on the dash on and runs the
battery down. The first time, I was parked on a hill and bump
started the car. I then put a spare battery and jumper cables in
the trunk. After I figured out what must have happened, I then
turned the dome light switch back on and made a two part check
getting out of the car- 1. door is fully shut. 2. visual check
that the dome light is not on.

Still, this seems rather tedious, and having a dead battery
always happens at the worst time. I had been debating ordering a
new hinge from Courtesy Nissan, along with a few other parts, but
had put it off.

I then realized that my registration was due the end of this
month- about $60.00, non-refundable. My inspection was also up
next month.

So, I got the car inspected, which it passed with no surprises.
So, door or no door, I can drive the car for another year, so the
registration is worthwhile. I then went out to spray the hinge
bolts and fender bolts with Liquid Wrench to let them start
loosening up for a week or so until the parts were ordered and
delivered. I then thought to try loosening the bolts holding the
hinge to the door, because they are accessible (the hinge to body
bolts require the fender to be removed). They loosened without
much more than loosen-spray-tighten-spray-loosen more-remove.
Surprise!

It then occurred to me that placing some washers under the hinge
would take up the "slop" and perhaps fix the problem. Half-assed,
yes, but worth a try on a car on its last legs.

Half an hour with a hydraulic jack, assorted washers, wrenches,
screwdrivers and other implements of destruction later, the door
was fixed. It opens and shuts like a dream. I wish I had fixed it
two years ago when I got it.

I'm still in shock. Anyhow, I hope this story helps somebody
with the same problem.

Some companies respond to "losing money at a frightening pace" by studying the problem at length as they continue to lose more money, by asking for more money or, in the worst cases, not doing anything at all. Nissan didn't do any of those things: after posting a loss of $2.4 billion in the fiscal year that ended in March of 2009, Carlos Ghosn put Nissan EVP Colin Dodge in charge of a financial recovery task force. Just months later, the task force is about to disband itself. Said Dodge, "We're ...
