Abstract
A dual gooseneck hinge assembly for a door cover that provides access to an opening defined by a body panel includes an outer hinge member, an inner hinge member, and a one-piece housing defining a cavity that houses the outer hinge member and the inner hinge member when the dual gooseneck hinge assembly is in a closed position. The outer hinge member defines a curved body portion and a slotted opening. The curved body portion includes a gooseneck bend and the slotted opening includes a first stopping surface defining a first open position and a second stopping surface defining a second open position of the dual gooseneck hinge assembly. The outer hinge member rotates about a main axis of rotation of the dual gooseneck hinge assembly between the closed position, the first opened position, and the second opened position.
