Abstract
In a door hinge mounting structure, a retaining member having a threaded hole formed therein is provided in the interior of a door panel or a door mounting portion on a vehicle body. A positioning bolt is screwed into the threaded hole via a positioning bolt passable hole formed in the door panel or the door mounting portion. A door hinge is positioned based on the position of the positioning bolt so mounted. In the door hinge mounting structure, the positioning bolt passable hole is formed larger in diameter than the threaded hole in the retaining member. Restrictive wall portions are provided in the interior of the door panel or the door mounting portion for restricting the movement of the retaining member within a range in which the positioning bolt passable hole and the threaded hole in the retaining member substantially coincide in position with each other.
