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.
