Review on Dorman 38640 Tailgate Hinge Kit for Chevrolet / GMC Models - Black Finish by Andrew Agarwal

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect replacement

I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice if 4 screws were included so you don't have to reuse the old ones. Since damage or corrosion are likely the main reasons for replacement, it's not too hard to assume that bolts will also corrode. Living in a northern state that uses salt on the roads, mine were so badly rusted that the back door fell off. I sprayed the bolts with penetrating liquid a few hours before work and the bolts came out relatively easily. The hinges are perfectly aligned and bolted. Total replacement time was about 15 minutes, including cleaning the threads on the box frame.
