Purpose and function of the tailgate hinge

The presented hinge is a component from the Tailgates and rear parts group, responsible for supporting and guiding the tailgate on the right side of the vehicle. Its placement in the rear area on the right side ensures proper cooperation with the left hinge, actuators, and lock, which is crucial for maintaining tightness, preventing stress in the body panels, and ensuring even load distribution when opening and closing the trunk.

Body fitment and color

The hinge is finished in the Selenite Grey Metallic - 992 shade, allowing for an aesthetic match to bodywork painted in the same color. Thanks to this, the component blends harmoniously into the body line, minimizing the need for additional paint work when installed in a vehicle with a matching color specification.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a component intended for the right side of the rear bodywork, the hinge has been designed for appropriate rigidity and resistance to loads resulting from the weight of the tailgate. The design provides for cooperation with factory mounting points in the body and the tailgate, which facilitates installation and subsequent position adjustment. The product comes from a used vehicle, which allows for maintaining factory performance parameters while offering a favorable cost-to-functionality ratio.

Practical application and benefits of replacement

Replacing the right tailgate hinge is recommended in situations where there are problems with uneven opening, the tailgate sagging, incorrect gaps between the tailgate and fenders, or visible deformations in the mounting area. Using an original component from the same design group allows you to:

• restore the correct operating geometry of the tailgate,
• reduce stress on the body panels and seals,
• limit the risk of paint damage in the contact area of the components,
• maintain visual consistency thanks to the matched color scheme.
