The hinge/pin are good. I reinforced the door more as a preventative measure since I was already redoing the body which was in bad shape. I don't think that either the door or the body was a
fiberglass issue although several previous repairs using the time honored "plug" method had taken its toll on the fiberglass". As I see it, the underlying problem is the wood plug/core that the door hinges screwed into. As the years went by water got into the wood via the screw holes and eventually rotted it out. Plugging may give a temp fix, but it doesn't address the cause. I have had to do similar repairs to several sailboats that use the same "wood sandwiched between fiberglass" construction.
In Trilliums case they used blocks of plywood either sandwiched between
fiberglass (the door) or encased in
fiberglass (the body). Not a good design/construction method in my opinion as once the water gets to the wood it can't get out because of the surrounding fiberglass and the wood either rots or becomes too soft to hold the screws. But it was prob quick and cheap and it did last 40 years so I'm not going to fault them too much.
I'm just into the body redo and will start posting pics soon.
