ABSTRACT:
A three piece lift-off door hinge assembly for a vehicle door comprising a door-half hinge plate and a body-half hinge sub-assembly incorporating an interlocking arrangement. The door-half hinge plate provides a notched-out connector while the body-half hinge plate of the sub-assembly has an upstanding latching pin. Upon the vehicle receiving an impact load of predetermined force a door-half hinge plate notched-out connector is adeapted for interlocking engagement with the pin thereby resisting door displacement by transmitting impact forces to the surrounding body frame structure.
