My turn. We have experienced the dreaded "door open on the highway" event in our 34 Tudor. I say we, because my wife riding shotgun was the closest to the action. Luckily, the damage tot he car is reparable, but her undergarments were left in the roadside ditch. SO. my Ford friends. I am on the hunt for new passenger door hinges. Anyone out there with a spare set? or know of someone / someplace to find such a treasure?

As well as the skill to hit it with the proper force in the proper place.

I'm pretty sure the drivers front door on my car has had blow open/back injury some time
in its life . When i close the door it closes fine until I get to about 1/2 inch before it closes completely then it pushes back at me and needs extra force to close it - I suspect the hinges and one day will look further into it

I am not familiar with the hinges or the attachment points on a 34, but on my 37 the weakest link is the attachment point to the frame of the door rather than the hinge itself. Check the area where the hinges attach to the door and post for damage.
