Purpose and function of the boot hinge

The presented hinge operates in the rear part of the body on the right side, responsible for stable guidance of the boot lid along the opening axis. A correctly selected component ensures:

• smooth lifting and closing of the lid without excessive play,
• proper maintenance of gaps between the lid and the fenders and bumper,
• reduction of stress in the lid skin and mounts.

Thanks to maintaining the factory geometry of the hinge, it is possible to maintain the appropriate stiffness of the connection and the correct operation of the entire boot opening system, which translates into daily operational comfort.

Brilliant Blue Metallic color – visual matching

The hinge is finished in the Brilliant Blue Metallic shade, which facilitates integration with the body in the same color without the need for full painting of the component. In practice, this means:

• easier matching when replacing a single hinge after mechanical damage,
• reduction of the scope of paint work during local repairs,
• maintaining a consistent aesthetic of the rear part of the vehicle.

For coupe owners, where the body line and color details are particularly visible, such matching is important both in terms of utility and visuals.

Assembly characteristics and application

The boot hinge has been designed as a structural element working with the lid, side skin, and lifting system. Its construction enables:

• stable mounting in factory body points,
• cooperation with actuators or springs responsible for lifting the lid,
• precise adjustment of the lid position relative to the body.

A properly selected hinge helps to eliminate problems with the lid rubbing against the bumper or fenders, as well as improper closing, which is important for the tightness of the boot and protection against moisture.

Condition of the component and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered hinge is a used part, which allows combining a reasonable repair cost with maintaining the manufacturer's original construction. In practice, this means:

• maintaining the factory operating characteristics of the hinge,
• possibility of economical replacement of a damaged component,
• reducing the risk of fitment problems typical for low-quality replacements.

For many users, this is a rational choice for body repairs, especially when they care about compliance with the original vehicle specification.
