914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Rear trunk hinge pivot question

Posted by: mgarrison Jan 25 2022, 01:00 PM

Hello 914World Wise Men/Women!

I'm unsure what I need to do to correct this issue with my trunk hinge pivot on the passenger side; The drivers side pivot is tight in its mount that is attached to the body. The passenger side is loose, and just falls out. I'm not sure if it was originally pressed in, or...?

Here's the driver's side:

But the passenger side is loose, and just sort of falls out of the mount:

If someone can provide some direction on how to fix the passenger side, I would greatly appreciate it!

They were spot welded on the back.

Clean it up and put a couple welds around the edge.

Much easier fix than a broken mount.

And if you can't do that, JWest has a retrofit bracket kit.
