An adjustable hinge assembly () for securing a boot lid to the body of a vehicle has a mounting member () for attachment to the body. An adjustment member () is connected to the mounting member for pivotal movement about a first axis X and a hinge arm () on which the boot lid is mounted is connected to the adjustment member for pivotal movement about a second axis Y parallel to but spaced from the first axis. An adjusting mechanism () is operative to selectively adjust the pivotal position of the adjustment member () relative to the mounting member () in order to adjust the position of the boot lid relative to a body in a vertical direction.

Adjustable hinge assembly

An automobile comprises an automatically opening and closing boot lid having a drive mechanism located on the dry side of the drain channel and a rotatable shaft extending into the wet side of the drain channel, in order to provide drive to an arm which opens and closes the boot lid. The drive mechanism may be a linear actuator, such as a spindle drive, but drive is transmitted through the drain channel as torque.
