Abstract: A door hinge assembly enabling a vehicle door to be readily removed and remounted during an assembly line operation, for example. A hinge body-half sub-assembly comprises a main member mounted on a body strut and a U-shaped link member, having a plurality of external guide surfaces, pivotally connected by a pintle pin to the main member. The door-half member is channel-shaped having its bight wall formed with a pair of normally extending sidewalls with one sidewall and the bight wall defining a pair of interior guide surfaces. Upon the door-half member being initially moved laterally into nested relation with the link member its interior guide surfaces are located in flush abutment with associated link member guide surfaces. Subsequent guided vertical sliding travel of the door-half member relative to the link member provides self-aligned reception of the pintle pin within a leaf flange pintle pin hole of the door-half member.
