    For the bolts that hold the hinge to the frame.
    Also used for some hardtop upper door hinges that mount to the outside of the w/s frame.
    Usually get broken off when trying to remove them from an East coast rig............

    wow. Ok thanks. I guess that’s why this is happening? I think I just added another item to my project to fix. Sounds like I need to pull off the W/S, clean underneath, and push back down to get some new bolts in?

    Yes, its a good idea to remove the upper hinge and run a tap the clean the threads. When you reassemble, smear the shank of the hinge with grease or anti-seize (and all the threads) to make sure it can be removed in the future. By the way, there should be 3 phillips head screws on the bottom of each upper hinge, along with the two upper hex bolts your missing.
