Abstract: A door hinge assembly enabling a vehicle door to be readily removed and rehung during an assembly line operation. Upper and lower hinge door-half sub-assemblies each include a generally hat-shaped door mounting plate secured to the vehicle door and a U-shaped link plate connected to an associated door mounting plate by a pintle pin. Each link plate has a threaded bore in its base wall and a dowel extending downwardly from an upper flange. Upper and lower L-shaped body mounting plates, each having a first leg secured to the body, include an upper web with a dowel hole adapted to receive its associated link plate dowel. Each door mounting plate second leg has a threaded bore while a removable key locks each pair of sub-assembly plates fixing the door in a predetermined hold-open removal mode. To hang the door each link plate depending dowel is inserted in its associated body plate dowel hole aligning their respective threaded bores.
