MY DRIVERS DOOR HAS HAD THE PINS AND BUSHING REPAIRED 5 TIMES. I OWN 2 CHEVY BLAZERS , AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH BOTH. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING , TURNED A CURVE AND MY DOOR FLEW OPEN. WAS UN ABLE TO CLOSE DOOR, DROVE TO WORK HOLDING MY DOOR SHUT. I WORK IN A METAL SHOP, ONE OF OUR WELDERS RE WELDED THE STRICKER PLATE. THIS HELD FOR A MONTH OR SO. IT NOW HAS BEEN REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND IS STARTING TO BE COSTLY TO MY POCKET. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN OR OWNED CHEVY BLAZERS AND THIS IS VERY COMMON. THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF IMPROVEMENT MADE TO REPAIR THESE. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER ALL , MY DOOR FLEW OPEN INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. *TR
