Abstract: An adjustable hinge assembly and method for mounting a hinge strap of a deck lid to a vehicle body is disclosed. The assembly and method permit rapid adjustment of the deck lid to properly fit the vehicle body. The assembly includes a hinge box, a pivot pin, and an adjustment screw. The hinge box mounts to the vehicle body and has spaced apart sides. The sides of the hinge box are shaped to provide aligned adjustment slots formed on a tangent to an arc centered at substantially the deck lid striker. The pivot pin extends through the adjustment slots and is slidable therealong. The hinge strap has a proximal end for pivotal connection to the pivot pin. The adjustment screw extends within the hinge box and is connected thereto. The adjustment screw is threadingly engaged with the pivot pin.
