ABSTRACT:
A door hinge mechanism and associated body of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The hinge mechanism has rotary center shafts supported on an end panel on the pivoting (rocking proximal) end of a side door, and rotary center shafts supported on a surface on the vehicle body adjacent the end panel. A first arm is rotatably connected at its opposite ends to a rotary center shaft on the vehicle body and to another rotary center shaft on the end panel of the door. A second arm is rotatably connected at its opposite ends to a rotary center shaft on the vehicle body and to a rotary center shaft on the door. A forward end corner portion of the end panel of the side door is raised forward on the compartment side of the vehicle body from the rear surface of the end panel where the side door hinge is secured. The raised portion of this configuration is attached to a weather strip mount. A weather strip attached thereto, comes into pressed contact with a weather strip contact surface on the vehicle body when the side door is fully closed.
