Luggage Compartment Lid Hinges

Luggage Compartment Lid Hinges





The hinges (3) are attached to the body attachment flange of the luggage compartment bulkhead by four bolts with self-locking nuts (1). The force of the spring (4) in its effective direction is 700 N.

The hinge arms (5) are attached by carriage bolts (2). These bolts do not have to be held when adjusting the luggage compartment lid height (up/dn).

Only the nuts have to be loosened, which can be accessed through plugs in the upper shelf (under the rear window) from the luggage compartment (as shown by arrow on right).

There are 3 attachment points in the spring holder (1) for the spring (2) which change the opening and closing force of the luggage compartment lid.





Door Hinges

The front doors are attached to the A-pillar by two hinges each held by a central bolt (M1 2) and a specially shaped brace plate. The brace plates are inside the A-pillars. The hinges are bolted onto the pillars from the outside. The hinge bolts screw directly into a thread inside the brace plates.





Like the front doors, the rear doors use the new hinge design with a central hinge bolt (M1 2). In this case, however, the bolt is inserted through the B-pillar from the inside. It then screws directly into a thread inside the hinge backplate.
