Installing Extang Replacement Tail Hinge # EX83475-64 In Extang Solid Fold

Published 11/29/2019

Question:

The panel nearest tail gate was slammed shut by a strong wind gust and now it will only open half way. You show a replacement hinge is available but before I order it I would like to know if there are some sort of instructions or a video on how to replace the hinge.I have the Extang solid fold 2.0.

The Extang Replacement Tail Hinge # EX83475-64 installs on the panels of their Solid Fold covers like 83475 by those panels' rounded edge rail sliding into the round channels on the hinge. The photo I linked shows the replacement hinge and these two channels.

We haven't had the chance to shoot an install video for this nor is there a printed set of instructions but Extang has told us in the past that it's really just a matter of sliding the hinge in place of what's there and it will be pretty obvious to you when the parts are in front of you.
