ABSTRACT:
A hinge assembly for hingedly attaching a movable closure to a vehicle body comprises a male hinge member having an integral ferrule, a female hinge member having a pair of spaced ears for straddling the ferrule and a connecting means for pivotally connecting the hinge members together. The connecting means comprises a pair of flanged bushings which are slidably received in the ferrule, a pair of hinge pins which are slidably received in the bushings and force fittingly received in the ears and an adjustment screw threadably received in a threaded opening in the ferrule for engaging the bushings and moving the latter outwardly to seat against the ears on the female hinge member to take up fabrication tolerances and prevent rattling between the hinge members.
