Technical Information
The upper rear door hinge forms part of the rear cargo door mounting system.
Its main functions include:
* Supporting the weight of the rear door
* Maintaining correct door alignment
* Allowing smooth opening and closing
* Helping maintain correct panel gaps
* Supporting proper latch and striker engagement
* Preventing excessive movement or sagging
The upper and lower hinges work together to keep the rear door correctly positioned.
Common Symptoms / Reasons for Replacement
Replacement may be required due to:
* Worn hinge pivot
* Excessive door movement
* Rear door sagging
* Stiff or seized hinge
* Accident damage
* Bent hinge arm
* Corrosion
* Cracked or damaged mounting points
* Door no longer aligning correctly with the latch
Important Diagnostic Information
If the rear door is sagging or difficult to close, also inspect:
* Lower rear door hinge
* Door latch
* Striker / catch
* Door check strap
* Body mounting points
* Door frame
* Hinge bolts and fixings
Poor door alignment may be caused by more than one worn or damaged component.
Installation
Before fitting:
* Support the rear door securely
* Check body and door mounting points
* Inspect hinge bolts
* Align the door carefully before final tightening
* Check latch engagement
* Confirm even panel gaps
* Lubricate the hinge pivot where appropriate
Because the rear door is heavy, installation is easier and safer with suitable support or assistance.
Important Compatibility Note
Please compare your original hinge before ordering.
