Luggage Compartment and Door Attaching Hardware
Luggage Compartment Lid Hinges
The hinges (3) are attached to the body attach-
ment flange of the luggage compartment bulk-
head 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 hold-
er (1) for the spring (2) which change the open-
ing and closing force of the luggage compart-
ment lid.
Door Hinges
The front doors are attached to the A-pillar by two hinges each held by a central bolt (M12)
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 (M12). 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.
