Trunk Lid Hinge Purpose and Function

The presented hinge is dedicated for installation on the rear of the vehicle, on the left side. It is responsible for stable trunk lid guidance, proper opening and closing, and maintaining the correct position relative to the body. Using an original Mini part minimizes the risk of improper fit, leaks, or excessive stress on the trunk lid.

Hinge replacement is particularly important in cases of:

• mechanical damage after a collision or impact to the rear of the vehicle,
• wear and tear resulting from intensive trunk lid use,
• problems with the trunk lid closing evenly or sagging.

Midnight Grey Metallic - C12 Paint Color and Match

The part is finished in Midnight Grey Metallic - C12, allowing for an aesthetic match with Mini bodies in this shade. In many cases, this eliminates the need for additional painting, and installation is limited to mechanical work. This is a beneficial solution in terms of both repair time and service costs.

The factory finish of the surface helps maintain the vehicle's consistent styling line, and the appropriately selected shade of metallic paint minimizes the visibility of any intervention on the rear trunk lid.

Characteristics of an Original Mini Part

As a Mini group component, the trunk lid hinge has been designed to be compatible with the Countryman R60 body structure. This means:

• maintaining factory mounting points on the body and the trunk lid,
• proper interaction with actuators and other components of the opening mechanism,
• adequate rigidity and durability for everyday use.

The used nature of the part allows for economical repair while maintaining the original manufacturer's specifications, which is particularly important for components responsible for the geometry and operation of movable body panels.

Mounting Area and Service Aspects

The hinge is intended for installation in the rear area of the vehicle, on the left side of the trunk lid. When replacing it, it's worth paying attention to:

• checking the condition of the mountings on the body and the trunk lid,
• correctly setting the gaps between the trunk lid and the fenders and bumper,
• checking the operation of the lock and any necessary adjustments after installation.

Professional installation restores smooth trunk lid operation, reduces stress on the sheet metal, and minimizes the risk of leaks around the trunk seal.
