Hello gents, I am looking for the original manufacturer for the piano hinges which attach the rear doors on my 2002 wagon. I see that they are about $300 USD each from AM General, perhaps they are available elsewhere?
Any insight would be appreciated.

Re: Rear barn door hinge manufacturer

Re: Rear barn door hinge manufacturer
After almost 10 years with very little production, I would think the line will have been replaced. Finding a close replacement and getting it machined is the next alternative

Re: Rear barn door hinge manufacturer
Yes, as I expected. I have seen a few stainless hinges installed, not a big fan of a small bit of stainless on the back end of the vehicle. I am going to continue to look for aluminum hinges, as close to the original thickness, width, and style..
When I have success I will definetly put you all on to them. A lot of the wagons I have looked at have similar issues with the hinges corroding or disintegrating. May be the steel rod through the aluminum hinge?
Thanks for your input guys.

Re: Rear barn door hinge manufacturer
As Sub has mentioned, You can get a stainless steel piano hinge for less then $100 from Bolts Plus. I believe the open messurement for the hinge is about 3". Stock is a bit more. I plan on doing the change and I beleive its just a matter of drilling holes into the new hinge to match the stock. A 6ft length of hinge should be good.

Re: Rear barn door hinge manufacturer
Derek wants the alum hinge, not stainless, trying to keep the look OEM I think
I can get 4" alum hinge,1/4" pin,with 2" knuckles,
OEM has 1/2 knuckles
Planning on investing some time in the shop machining these soon.

Re: Rear barn door hinge manufacturer
Just completed one!
Two differences from OEM,
1) not as thk so Counterbores are not needed
2) hinge is 2" sections not 1/2 as original
$100. per hinge!
Order now if you need them,have 6 in stock,
Right side has the electrical port for the door locks,
