Thats more work than the factory fix plus i doubt if that would withstand the time. The Factory fix is the way to go on this. Its really pretty simple. you drill out the holes. fish a knurled bolt up though the access hole in pillar. pull it through the oversize hole and bolt your hinge on. If their was an easier way we would do it.
