Reviews for Kentrol Stainless Steel Windshield Hinge Set for 76-95 Jeep CJ & Wrangler YJ
Fit like it should. I have a 94 YJ with full size doors. The bolts did not interfere with them as other reviews have alluded to
fit perfect and they look great
Looks great
Very high quality product. Bought with door hinges and hood hinges which were also high quality. Could not be happier with these products.
They look great.
Already have these in polished want to switch to black and still be stainless. More cost effective than powder coating old ones myself
Quality
Very good quality, but different style screws.
Three stars because I got what I expected and they work.
As indicated elsewhere, metal is thinner (about 60-80%) than stock, and therefore the hinges are lighter and less robust. Does not have countersunk holes for using original torx bolts; uses allen head bolts. No nuts included; need to use originals or buy new.
One hinge required drilling out forward tub-side bracket bolt holes to elongate about 1/4" to match to tub bolt holes. As all the other holes matched close enough, I won't take away stars for that-- likely tolerance issue on original production.
Contrary to other posts, you can remove doors on stock 91 YJ without removing new style hinge bolt. It is a non-issue for stock half doors; can't speak to full doors.
Still don't understand why some company hasn't replicated OEM hinges. Home Depot sells gate hinges, same gauge steel, for about $20. If I had time and proper equipment, I would cut, drill, and paint those to match OEM.
The steel if much thinner than OEM. I returned them. They seem like they would bend very easy
