This is important...
Lubricate your hood hinge pivot pins !!!
A few drops of oil will save you from a costly repair.
The W123 hood hinge generally corrodes/seizes on the bottom pivot wrecking the arm and/or ripping the pivot bushing from the body.
The W123 hood hinges are currently $300.00 each.
The W126 have multiple pivot points to seize = bend/twist/deform, and the fender must be removed to replace the hinge.
The W126 hood hinges are currently $368.00 each.
If you need NEW hinges, please call Phil with your VIN#..
