Abstract
Closure member systems are provided for motor vehicles. Exemplary closure member systems may include a hinge assembly having an internal stop. The internal stop may be established by portions of both a stationary hinge component and a movable hinge component of the hinge assembly. For example, the stationary hinge component may include one or more ears that are arranged to contact one or more stop surfaces provided on the movable hinge component. The ears may engage the stop surfaces to limit a range of motion of the closure member.
