Trunk & Tailgate Hinges

A deck lid and tailgate is a door or gate at the rear of your vehicle or truck to the main storage compartment where you can place your toolboxes and spare as well as lots of stuff necessary for your road trip, daily commute or weekend getaway. Hinges help open and close a trunk or tailgate lid and support it in the open position. It's highly important to keep these hinges in tip-top working order for proper operation of your trunk or tailgate. These parts can wear out or fail due to many issues.

Trunk and tailgate hinges are susceptible to wear out due to the abuse they take from the elements like dirt, road debris and rain as well as may suffer damage from accidents. They can rust and deteriorate during the lifetime of use. When driving fast on the highway, loose hinges can cause the trunk or tailgate to fly open. Be sure to replace worn out or failing hinges when replacing your trunk or tailgate lid. Don't ignore defective hinges as this may result in a trunk or tailgate lid that won't stay swing open or will be hard to shut off.

Hinges are usually out of sight until you notice that they aren't functioning as well as before. If you experience any difficulties while opening or closing your trunk or tailgate, this may indicate the problem with your hinges. One of the signs of a hinge malfunction is a strange popping or grinding noise as you open or shut down the trunk or tailgate lid. Sometimes, you may notice a deck/ tailgate lid hinge problem due to improper alignment during a visual inspection. If you pull the trunk release from the cabin of your vehicle but the trunk/tailgate lid doesn't pop completely open as it should, this may also indicate that there's something wrong with your hinges.

The finest way to keep your trunk/tailgate lid operating flawlessly is to regularly check and replace worn out, loose, bent or otherwise damaged hinges as soon as possible. This will help save your time and avoid more extensive and costly repairs. Trunk lid and tailgate hinges work in conjunction with torsion rods or springs so that the lid can be opened and closed smoothly. Designed for convenience and safety, hinges are essential to properly secure the lid in the open and closed positions, preventing accidental shutdowns. They are responsible for appropriate alignment of the lid as well. Spring loaded hinges aid opening and closing the lid automatically, providing added convenience when your hands are busy.
