While replacing or fixing the bonnet, one often pays most attention to the bonnet panel itself. Still, bonnet hinges deserve their special attention, too.

Bonnet hinges ensure proper movement of the bonnet during its opening/closing and keep it at its right place on the vehicle.

Functions of Bonnet Hinges

The hinge is responsible for linking the bonnet with the body of the car.

It ensures the proper movement of the bonnet when it opens or closes and helps to position the bonnet properly.

The bonnet must be aligned properly so that it would open and close without any problems.

Why Would the Bonnet Hinge Get Damaged?

There are several cases when the bonnet hinges might get damaged:

* Collision at the front end;
* Damage to the bonnet;
* Excessive force while opening or closing;
* Corrosion;
* Repair;
* Regular wear.

After a collision, one might think that the bonnet is the only part damaged, but the bonnet hinges should also be checked.

Bonnet Hinge Problems Symptoms

Symptoms could include a poorly aligned bonnet, abnormal motion, difficult to open or close or any distortion near the bonnet hinges.

Where there is misalignment between the bonnet and the adjacent wings and front panels, the hinges and the mounting areas must be inspected by an expert.

Importance of Correct Compatibility

This is because bonnet hinges are parts specific to each automobile. The shape, mounting points and the size will vary from one automobile generation to another.

It is important to verify that the make, model and year of your car match the product specifications before placing an order for the bonnet hinges.
