hood hinges


Recommended Posts

My passenger side hinge was bent so I got a repop from OPGI.  They offer a GM pair for $580.  It leaned inboard bad so I pouned on it with a sledge hammer and got it looking somewhat better.  Installed and now the drivers side sits too high.  Doesnt make sense other than new one is stiff at the pivot points and original is loose.  It rubs trying to close it.  I think I need to start over with a new pair, anybody had luck with something less than $580?

This ⬆️ Is how I fix 90% of things that break in my house or on my vehicles.  Always seems like a good idea at the time.

GM hinges new or used (unless worn out) are the best, remember to lube all the pivot points

if the hood is not laying down all the way...try raising the front of the hinge...yes I know it sounds backwards
