| | | rear gate hinge ??? | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 217 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 217 | What is the idea with the hinges on my 89 voyager? They look like they are "2 hinges in 1" kinda, with a little bolt disabling 1 of them. It looks like I could take out that bolt, and I could have the hinge "flipped over" and have the gate sitting an inch or two away from the car???
Maybe they made them that way just for fun?? | | | Re: rear gate hinge ??? | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | Madman!

I know exactly what you mean, having had a handful of those vans. I never did take one apart though. If I brave the wasps nest in my Voyager trailer, I can get a pic.

It is no biggie, but I just think it is an unusual setup.

Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 | That's interesting! Wonder if it was a hinge from another vehicle that they used on the caravan. wonder why they would double pivot it? | | | Re: rear gate hinge ??? | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 217 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 217 | That is what I thought too... why?
Oh, and thanks for taking the pics | | |
