Overview
The Kentrol 30016 is a pair of unpolished stainless steel hardtop liftgate hinges for the 2007–2016 Jeep Wrangler (JK). Both hinges are sold together, and the set includes stainless steel mounting hardware.
The hinges are made from 304 stainless steel, which resists rust. An occasional waxing helps keep the finish looking good over time.
Key features
- Unpolished stainless steel
- Sold as a pair
- Includes stainless steel mounting hardware
- Made from 304 stainless steel
Hinge care and fit checks
Liftgate hinges carry the weight of the hardtop as the liftgate opens and closes, so the pivot points and fasteners see steady load. Check the hinges for smooth movement and any play at the pivot after installation, and adjust the hardtop if it sits unevenly.
Stainless steel resists rust well, but surface marks can still show up from grit and road film. Wipe the hinges with mild soap and water, dry them, and use an occasional wax to keep the finish bright. Avoid abrasive pads on the unpolished surface. A light lubricant on the pivot pins keeps movement smooth between cleanings.
Since the hinges come as a pair, replace both at the same time if one shows wear. Matched hinges keep the liftgate level and reduce uneven stress on the hardtop frame and mounting points.
- Check hardtop alignment after installation
- Wipe off road salt and grit
- Inspect pivot pins for play
