Can someone verify the OEM number for the door bushings? I think it's 2042 9500.

Are you asking about the bushings for the windows or another area?

Hinges?

Hinges, yes.

There are window bushings ?

20429500 comes up at least a couple of times.

See my Cave, Doors

If pin clips aren't wreck too... can remove w/o damage by speeding the "seem" w/ a small screwdriver etc.
If the pins aren't wreck too... reuse them for upper hinge to clear skin bolt.

Note: Fiero door spring are bigger/heavier then other cars. Spring tool may not work to get the spring out.
When using spring tool, open it wide but not too wide so ends of threads don't fail.
Then grab most of spring to compress. final compress spring just barely fit the hinge.

What was the outcome? The reason I ask is because Fierostore and Dorman both make replacements for a fraction of the OEM price. Do you have some OEM bushings laying around?

That part is $1.14 at Rock Auto - I was trying to cross-ref other parts to see if I could get them locally since I'm not currently placing a RA order.

Are they cheaper elsewhere ?


edit: once you factor in the whole package, the Dorman package seems to be the best bang for the buck. Thanks, team!

If Dorman still has the kit, you can go that route or Fierostore sells the kit or just the bushings.

Which Dorman kit is supposed to work?

None of the sites cross ref 703-263 to a Fiero, though it was reported in another thread that that worked.
