A hinge mechanism for a vehicle door comprising a first arm and a second arm extending between the door section and the vehicle body for supporting the door section during opening and closing thereof. The first arm includes a first shaft for pivotally mounting the door section to the vehicle body and a second shaft for pivotally mounting the door section on the end of the first arm opposite the first shaft. The first shaft is mounted along the vehicle body and is positioned beneath a rearward section of a fixed fender portion. An attaching element rotatably mounts a movable fender portion on the first shaft for rotation with the first arm. The movable fender is adjacent to and substantially beneath the fixed fender portion when the door section is closed. The movable fender also includes an extension projecting forward of the first shaft, the extension defining a path of movement about the first shaft during opening and closing of the door section.
