    Product Details

    Driver Side Hood Hinge (FO1236148) by Replace®. (Standard Line). Material: Steel. If you don't want to have the hood fly open one day, replace your distorted, collision-damaged, or worn-out factory hood hinges with brand new OE-style parts from Replace. They will restore proper hood function and enable you to open/close the hood conveniently again. Made to OE specification, these reproductions ensure a perfect fit and appearance.

    The hinge pins and bushings in a hood hinge can become worn, which can affect the hood's position when closed and interfere with hood raising and lowering. The springs or hydraulic supports (if equipped) can become fatigued and no longer support the hood. Finally, a hood hinge can become distorted from physical damage, as would occur in a collision, in which case it would no longer be able to properly function or locate the hood between the fenders.

    In the past your options for replacing a damaged hood hinge were finding a good used hinge, buying a cheap replacement, or paying big bucks for an OE hood hinge. Searching for a useable hinge from a scrap yard is a waste of time, because you may end up owning a hinge that's in even worse condition.

    Today you can fix your car or truck properly and have money left in your pocket with a new quality replacement hood hinge from Replace. Replace offers OE quality body parts at less than original equipment prices. You get the same quality part that you'd get at the dealer without the high dealer price. A Replace hood hinge will look and fit just like a hood hinge from the dealer, so your vehicle will look new again. Replace hood hinges are designed using the latest software so they exactly replicate the OE units, then they're manufactured using the most modern tooling, so the end product looks and fits exactly as designed. A Replace hood hinge is made to the same dimensions as OE with the same gauge steel.

    Body repair is expensive enough without paying more than necessary for quality parts. A Replace hood hinge is the sensible alternative to the high dealer price markup. A Replace hood hinge will get you back on the road in a car or truck that looks brand new, without breaking the bank. Replace is so confident in the quality of its hood hinges that they're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle on which the part is installed. This includes perforation (metal rust-through) due to corrosion in normal use.

    Survived the test!
    I went on a rocky road trip, and my Ford took quite the shaking. Noticed the driver's side hood started to look misaligned. A buddy suggested replacing the hinge before things got worse. This one was surprisingly affordable, and the installation didn't need a mechanic degree, thankfully. Post-replacement, the hood's been secure, even noticed it during my off-road camping last weekend. It handled the pressure impressively well. Solid purchase for the adventurous driver!

    Hood issue resolved!
    I had a nasty problem with my hood closing and it was super frustrating. This hinge was a godsend. It's the exact fit, and the material feels heavy-duty. Since I replaced the old one, the hood closes like a dream, no resistance, no weird gaps. A small investment for peace of mind.

    Dependable for Quick Fixes
    I manage a small rental fleet, and these hinges have been a godsend for quick turnarounds. Quality seems on par with the OEM, and you can't beat the convenience.
