Anyone know of a company that makes suicide door hinge kits for W202's?.. or a universal kit that I can use?
Ive seen one on ebay.. Ebay suicide hinge kit
but it looks pretty wank.. very chincy looking.

I can not lose, because even in defeat there is a valuable lesson learned so it evens it up for me
I wouldn't trust universal door hinges because it will sag. Here where I live there is a place that was charging me 3gs to do it and match the paint. They would make a custom hinge and reverse my door handles. I seen the guys work that he did on a Audiobahn PT cruiser and the work looked flawless. The hinge was beautiful and the hinge hid itself in the paneling not like some universal hinges that look like house door hinges that look longer, thats nasty. The door didnt have any sag,closed perfect, and it came out not at a angle. It was so perfect, reps from Chrysler went up to this guy at SEMA and asked him if the Chrysler manufacture did it for him. If I find the pics I'll post them. When I went to this bodyshop. The only thing he said that would suk was that the rear will go up in a angle because the shape of the w202 body is curved before it archs for the rear wheel unlike the PT cruiser it goes down straight before it archs for the rear wheel. Thats why I didn't do it. This matters alot because there going to build a housing for the hinge. Thats why when they do it on a mini truck it easy because the door doesnt arch a wheel it just goes down straight. Research first about that. Unless you want you wouldn't mind your door coming out in a angle. I think that would be nasty.It is hard for me to explain but Ill try to find those pics. Good luck
this i have to see........definetly will loook unique and i doubt ne1 has it done...

I just think it would look sick as hell with a suicide door for the rear.. but yeah, thats the main issure.. trying to get the rear door to open correctly.. I know it will be hard to do.. because of the way the door line goes.
its not something I will be doing anytime soon.. but I definetly want it done.
just gotta find a good hinge kit that wont look ugly when in place. and still make the door function normally (not open up at an angle)
as for shifting the door handle and latch.. Im sure it will need a lot of inginuity!!.. the easiest thing would be to cut out where the handle is and just move it to the other side of the door and weld it into place.. or shave the rear handles off and use solenoids!
Ive seen pics of a W140 with a suicide rear door hinge kit.. looks sick!..
