Abstract
An adjustable hinge assembly and method for using the same to adjust a cover relative to vehicle opening is disclosed. The adjustable hinge assembly includes a hinge box and an adjustable link pivotally connected to the hinge box about a first pivot axis. The adjustable link includes a mount defining a second pivot axis. The adjustable link may be pivoted relative to the hinge box to adjust the position of the second pivot axis relative to the hinge box. The hinge assembly may be used to mount a hinge strap and deck lid to a backshelf of a vehicle. Pivotally moving the adjustment link relative to the hinge box allows the deck lid to adjust relative to a deck lid opening in the vehicle.
