Purpose and function of the hinge

The presented hinge is a rear body component responsible for supporting and guiding the tailgate along the pivot axis. Its placement on the right side of the vehicle ensures proper cooperation with the left hinge and gas struts, resulting in smooth opening and closing of the lid. The design was developed by the vehicle manufacturer, ensuring proper connection rigidity, resistance to dynamic loads, and compatibility with factory mounting points.

Color and visual fit

The finish in Obsidian Black Metallic – 197 allows for an aesthetic match to bodywork painted in the same color. This is particularly important for post-accident repairs or spot replacements, where the visual consistency of the entire rear section of the vehicle is essential. Using the original color reduces the scope of additional painting work and facilitates the integration of the hinge with other tailgate components.

Installation characteristics

The tailgate hinge is designed for installation in the rear of the body, on the right side, at the factory-designated mounting points. The original geometry of the mounts enables correct adjustment of the gaps between the tailgate and the fenders and bumper, which affects the tightness and the operation of the lock. The component works with the tailgate lifting system, including gas struts and the lock, creating a cohesive and stable support system.

Condition and use in repairs

The product belongs to the Gas struts, locks, hinges, and other parts category, meaning it is intended for use in the area of tailgate opening and support mechanisms. The used nature of the component makes it an economical solution for body and mechanical repairs of the rear body section, especially in cases of damage resulting from collisions or operational wear. Its original origin helps maintain factory tailgate performance parameters and correct cooperation with other components.
