Weather Striping for doors and Hatch Hinge.

Postby legend lime » Sat Feb 24, 2007 6:27 pm

This company carries what looks to be some good weather striping for the doors and a hatch hinge called Roton I have seen the hinge on another Tear Drop web site in the past. the pic is from a section that I found at work in the trash.

I believe that SoCal Teardrops uses a similar type of hinge that they have made specially for them...... 8)

I have a geared hinge on my tear. cost about $100.00 with shipping for a standard door hight hinge. they align very close and have to be right on when installed and have to be installed to the body and lid at the same time. They work smooth and have no play in them like "hurricane hinges .They are still prone to leak as they have small cutouts in them for blocks with set screws to keep the leaves aligned. I fixed the leak with a small strip of weatherstrip in the "closed area so the hinge squeezes it when shut.
