I received and installed the Snake Oyl door hinge repair kit, and all it does is push the door closed (I thought it was supposed to keep it opened). The instructions are terrible, and a picture or explanation of how it's supposed to look after the install would be great, but all it says is (after removing hinge and and counter sinking bolt) "Assemble new hinge retaining springs with supplied hardware and check with straight edge (to make sure the counter sunk bolt clears) and reverse door hinge disassembly procedure."
Also, the ad says:
"Tired of doors that won’t stay open? Or doors closing before you can get your legs into the vehicle? Snake-Oyl Products has developed a door hinge spring repair kit that replaces the broken retaining springs on your door hinges.
What was once only repaired by replacing your hinge with a new costly door hinge can now be repaired at a fraction of the replacement price. Each door hinge kit includes 2 new retaining springs with 2 new slave springs, hardware & simple instructions to replace your broken hinge springs in a minimal amount of time. Door hinge spring replacements are sold in sets only (enough for both door hinges)."
...and I only got enough for 1 door. Is this normal?
