Rugged Ridge Windshield Hinges for Jeep CJ/Wrangler YJ | 11209.01 | Fits 1976-1986 Jeep CJ; 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ

The Rugged Ridge 11209.01 Black Windshield Hinge - Pair is a visually appealing option for those looking to replace their old hinges with a sleek black design. The hinges are made of lighter steel, which some may find to be thinner than OEM hinges. However, this does not seem to be a major issue for most users. One potential concern raised by a customer is the fitment. While some customers report that the hinges fit their YJ and CJ7 perfectly, others complain that the holes on the hinges do not align with their stock hinges, making them unusable. It is important to note that the compatibility of these hinges is stated as 76-86 Jeep CJ/87-95 Jeep Wrangler YJ. Another issue mentioned is the quality of the screws provided. Some customers found that the included hex head screws were too hard and did not properly counter sink into the hinge. They recommend purchasing the ASIN: B09DXHNKFC – kiMing 16 PCs Torx Screws for a better fit. In terms of durability, the hinges are reported to hold up well when properly maintained. One customer suggests painting both sides and regularly using the hinges to avoid rust issues. Overall, the Rugged Ridge 11209.01 Black Windshield Hinge - Pair offers a visually pleasing option for Jeep owners looking to replace their old hinges. However, it is important to ensure compatibility and be prepared to potentially purchase new hardware for installation.
