Zusammenfassung: | A door hinge assembly comprises a first hinge member mounted to a motor vehicle and a second hinge member mounted to the removable door assembly rotatable between a closed position and a nominal fully open position. A locking member retains the second hinge member relative the first hinge member when the removable door assembly is rotated between the closed position and the nominal fully open position. A release block and a release tab is alternatively provided on either of the first or second hinge member. The release tab is resiliently urged to a locked position when the removable door assembly is rotated between the closed position and the nominal fully open position. The release tab is displaced to an unlocked position by the release block when the removable door assembly is rotated to an extended open position, whereupon the first hinge member may be separated from the second hinge member. |
