Boot Hinges - Broken
So, this is an annoyance, came to put my bag into the boot after finishing work this afternoon & the boot lid clipped the edge of the rear fender. When I arrived home I investigated further. Initial looks suggested a stiff joint, which I thought was odd but..... after a couple more lifts & lowering of the lid the lid was getting more & more out of alignment. Then I noticed a crack in the paint on the LH hinge. Looking closer & raising the lid a couple more times, the split got worse until I'm now stuck with the lid partly raised as I think if I try & move it again, the metal will snap.
So a couple of questions,
Has anyone seen this before ?
Has anyone got a second hand set of boot hinges, preferably in red ?
This is the RH hinge, which has signs of the paint cracking, so probably also on it's way to failure.
