I posted on here a few months ago about a seized Geist hinge. Eventually we had to replace it and a new one cost almost £30.
After that I went round the whole van spraying hinges with silicone but on holiday in the Netherlands a few weeks ago another one seized.We went into an LMC dealership (it's an LMC with a Geist badge) and they fixed the seized hinge for half an hour's labour (30€) and gave us coffee as well! (Great customer service.)
I wish I'd thought to ask them how they did it as there was no charge for a new hinge so we can only assume they managed to free it.
Now two more hinges have seized and I am getting really fed up. Our local garage tried everything to free the hinges but failed.
Does anyone know how to source hinges that are a different design?
Clearly these are poorly designed as I've read a number of posts from other Geist owners with the same problem.
:Sad:
Any ideas?
