Purpose and Function of the Trunk Lid Hinge

The presented hinge operates in the rear part of the body, on the right side, responsible for precise opening and closing of the trunk lid. Its tasks include:

• maintaining the correct pivot axis of the lid relative to the body,
• ensuring smooth movement during opening and closing,
• limiting unwanted play and creaking in the mounting area,
• maintaining a stable lid position in conjunction with other mounting elements.

Thanks to its appropriately designed structure, the hinge works with other components of the lid lifting system, which translates to comfortable and predictable trunk operation in daily use.

Color and Body Matching

The part is finished in Selenite Grey Metallic - 992, allowing for an aesthetic match with the body in the same paint shade. In practice, this means reducing the need for additional painting or eliminating it entirely if the vehicle has the factory paint in this color.

Such matching is particularly beneficial for accident repairs and for replacing individual lid mounting elements, where both correct mechanical operation and a consistent vehicle exterior appearance are important.

Mounting Characteristics

The hinge is designed for installation in the rear of the vehicle, on the right side, at the factory mounting points provided by the manufacturer. The element's construction is prepared to work with the original trunk lid and other components of the hinge and mounting system.

Hinge replacement is a typical service operation performed, among others, after:

• mechanical damage to the lid (e.g., after a collision or excessive load),
• wear and tear leading to play,
• problems with proper closing or alignment of the lid relative to the body.

Choosing an original part from the same model series allows for maintaining the correct fit and geometry of the rear body section, which is important for both sealing and interior acoustics.

Technical Category and Service Application

The product belongs to the group of Gas Springs, Locks, Hinges, and Other Parts, which are components responsible for the mechanical operation of lids, covers, and closures in a vehicle. In practice, the rear trunk lid hinge is an important component for:

• accident repairs of the rear body section,
• resolving issues with improper trunk closing,
• restoring the factory alignment and operation of the lid after previous incorrect repairs.

Using an original solution from this group helps reduce the risk of repeated adjustments and ensures predictable lid behavior over a longer period of use.

Condition of the Part and Benefits of Choosing a Used Hinge

The offered hinge is in used condition, making it an attractive cost alternative to a new component while retaining the original manufacturer's construction. For many users, this is a sensible choice for repairs where functionality and budget control are important.

For modernization projects or repairs using second-hand parts, it is worth considering a broader approach to component selection.
