The hinges I received were marked L&R but they didn't .

The hinges I received were marked L&R but they didn't match the angles of the original hinges. At first I thought the hinges were marked incorrectly but by golly, I think the original hinges were reversed and may be accountable for the issues we had with one hinge breaking and the splitting of the body panel under the rear window by the Ford logo. Then new hinges seem to operate the rear window opening perfectly.

Pros
  • Well worth the money, easy to install.
Cons
  • The hinges are very difficult to install and require a professional

Great replacement in my review

Only tool difference was stock was a 11mm socket and these are 10mm.These are metal, and not stock junk plastic. That's my review!

Pros
  • Fit 2006 Ford Explorer rear window support hinge; left & right. Ford wanted $100.00 for each side......
Cons
  • The hinges make a squeaking noise while opening and closing

Good replacement part

Super easy to install with 2 people, a lot better than paying the 250 I was quoted to have them replaced at dealership. That's my feedback.

Pros
  • The value was perfect and worked well.
Cons
  • The plastic material is not durable and breaks easily

Pros
  • They worked perfect! Would buy again if needed to.
Cons
  • The product is not available in different colors to match the vehicle's paint

Matches OEM parts - easily swap them out

Fit my 2009 Explorer - match for the corroded OEM part. No issues to install - there are a few videos on YouTube that walk you through it.

Pros
  • Worked great for a 2008 Ford Explorer
Cons
  • The screws provided with the set are of poor quality

Everything You Need is Included!

All the parts you need, washer, nuts, etc. are included in this package. Substantially less expensive than other alternatives. The installation was a breeze.

Pros
  • My husband was able to install fit perfectly and works as it should
Cons
  • The hinges are hard to come by in local stores

They Worked Like a Charm. Easy Install.

I picked these up a couple weeks ago, and I replaced one hinge the same day the parts arrived. It only took about 15 minutes to unscrew the old one and put in the replacement. There are videos for how to do the install yourself, and it's crazy simple. After a couple weeks, the part is still holding up. So while I initially thought it was a bit pricey for some plastic, it's actually a super durable material and seems like it'll last me another 275,000 miles (what I got off the originals.)

Pros
  • Exactly what they said it was, showed up early and easy to install.
Cons
  • The parts become loose after a few months of use

Great product: my feedback

Better than anything we found at the local auto parts store. This set came with all the neccessary hardware and washers that prevent leaks.

Pros
  • I put them on my 2004 Ford explorer an they fit.
Cons
  • The hinges can cause the liftgate glass to shatter

Won't fit Explorer Sport!

These are longer than the hinges made for my 2003 Explorer Sport 2-door. Had to send them back. But they appear to be well made and sturdy hardware with them. Had to strengthen and reuse my existing hinges.

Pros
  • Fit my 2009 Mountaineer perfectly with only a 15 minute installation.
Cons
  • The set does not include all the necessary parts for installation

Doesn't fit perfectly but it works

The fitting was not great , the plastic part that goes the lift gate glass broke due improper fitment. You have to tighten the hinge at an angle in order to tighten it. For the money I am dissatisfied

Pros
  • Product- great quality
Cons
  • The set is not compatible with vehicles that have a spoiler

Get these NOT AutoZones.

Fits just like factory. At first i bought some at autozone. The look cheep and was close to factory but twisted as hatch went up and down. These fit perfectly on my 02 ford explorer.

Pros
  • Fit like original. Seem heavy duty. Will have to see how they hold up.
Cons
  • The hinges are too bulky and look out of place on the vehicle

Worked Great! best in my review

These look like factory and worked perfectly with the '05 Ford Explorer I bought them for and all the necessary hardware was included. You really can't ask for me.

Pros
  • Functions as expected, looks great, and very well packed when received.
Cons
  • The hinges are prone to breakage even with regular use

Great Fit! for my opinion

Perfect fit for my 2004 Ford Explorer. Great quality, looks like the original ones. It comes with new bolts and rubber washers. Easy to install!

Pros
  • I recommend watch a few YouTube how to videos first and it will be easy
Cons
  • the bolts they sent with hinges are to long , had to use old bolts with the new hinges

Good quality - my new review

I bought these from my 2006 Explorer because one of mine snapped off. I had the guys at the shop install them because my car was already there but they said they were easy to replace.

Pros
  • Value for money
Cons
  • The hinges don't fit perfectly on the vehicle

High Quality replacement. - No Regrets

Exact Fit replacement. Quality is solid unlike reviews i saw for competitors. Includes all required parts.Have been using these for 2 weeks and expect them to last as long as the originals.

Pros
  • Item was just as expected and fit perfectly.
Cons
  • The product is not available for international shipping

Hinges worked great on my 2006 Mountaineer

I fumbled around a little bit getting the left-hand / right-hand hinges in the right location, and also lost the nut in the hollow of the formed sheet metal. But, in the end, I retrieved it with my telescoping magnet wand (I recommend this tool - just in case). Would be a very easy job the second time! Parts looked to match the original OEM parts very closely.

Pros
  • They came in 1-2 days early !!!! and was able to install in 1 1/2 hours
Cons
  • The set is not a universal fit and may require modifications for installation on some vehicles
