ABSTRACT:
A multi-link hinge assembly for a mounting a closure, such as a rear deck lid or front hood, to a vehicle body. An arrangement provides for readily adjusting the closure vertically upwardly from a position wherein the closure exterior surface is vertically lower than the adjacent body side structure exterior surface to a position where the closure exterior surface is in flush relation with the side structure exterior surface. The hinge assembly has a closure-half base plate secured to the underside of the closure and a body-half arm plate secured to an inner side wall of the side structure. A pair of first and second connecting links each have one end pivotally joined to a closure-half hinge base plate flange and an opposite end pivotally joined to the body-half arm plate. The base plate has a vertically disposed adjustment shank threadedly engaged in the base plate with the shank having a bumper head on its lower end contacting a stop flange of the body-half arm plate. The adjustment shank provides ready vertical upward adjustment of the closure exterior surface to its design position flush with the adjacent exterior surface of the body side structure.
