ABSTRACT:
A closure panel hinge for a vehicle body engine compartment hood panel includes a body bracket mounted on the vehicle body and a hood bracket mounted on the hood panel. The body bracket has an inclined bearing surface and a reversely bent flange which overlies the bearing surface. The hood bracket has a rearward end which bears on the bearing surface of the body bracket. A pin extends from the body bracket and rides in a curvilinear forwardly inclined slot in the hood bracket. As the hood is pivoted upwardly to the open position, the engagement between the pin and slot effects bodily forward shifting movement of the hood panel and simultaneous upward and forward migration of the point of contact of the hood bracket with the bearing surface of the body bracket, thereby preventing interference of the hood panel with the vehicle body structure.
