This door hinge shim is used to set the precise alignment of the front door on Land Rover Defender models, fitting between the hinge and the bulkhead or door pillar to adjust door gap and closure. Correct shimming is critical to prevent door sag, uneven panel gaps, and water ingress around the door seal. When replacing hinges or rectifying a misaligned front door, worn or missing shims are a common cause of persistent fit issues. Key Features Thin metal shim designed for use at the front door hinge mounting point on the Defender bulkhead Allows fine adjustment of door position to achieve correct panel alignment and seal contact Genuine Land Rover part number BDC710040, manufactured to OEM specification Multiple shims may be required per door - check hinge condition and door striker alignment during installation Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Defender (1986–2006) from bulkhead to chassis number WA138480, and Defender (2007 onwards) from bulkhead, covering all engine variants across both Body and Chassis classifications.
