Purpose and function of the trunk hinge

The presented hinge is dedicated to the right side of the tailgate in the Touring body style, ensuring proper guidance and support for the tailgate during opening and closing. The precisely selected mounting geometry allows for maintaining factory clearances and gaps, which translates into correct latching and reduces stress on the tailgate skin.

The component belongs to the Hinges, locks, and other hood parts group, although in this case, it operates in the rear section of the body, responsible for a stable connection between the tailgate and the roof and fender structure. Thanks to this, the trunk opens smoothly, without jamming or unwanted noises.

Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color and visual fit

The factory Black Sapphire Metallic - 475 color allows for an aesthetic match of the hinge to the bodywork in the same shade, without the need for additional painting if the coating is undamaged. This is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, where both correct geometry and a consistent appearance of the entire rear section of the vehicle are important.

By maintaining the original metallic finish, the component blends well with the roof line, rear window frame, and other body details, making it easier to achieve a factory-like effect after the repair.

Mounting characteristics and application

The trunk hinge is designed for installation on the right side of the vehicle, which eliminates the risk of error when selecting parts and facilitates workshop work. The design based on factory mounting points allows for installation using standard workshop tools, without the need for body modifications.

The component will work well both when replacing a single hinge and during a comprehensive repair of the rear body section after mechanical damage. Maintaining the correct position of the tailgate is important not only for user comfort but also for tightness and protecting the trunk interior from water and contaminants.

Used condition and benefits of choosing an original part

The offered hinge is a used part, which allows for combining reasonable repair costs with maintaining the manufacturer's original design. In practice, this means a perfect fit to factory mounting points, proper rigidity, and compatibility with other tailgate system components.

Choosing an original component from dismantling is particularly beneficial for older models, where the availability of new parts can be limited, and maintaining factory assembly quality is crucial for the durability of the repair.
