Hinge assembly with an adjustable pivot

A hinge assembly comprising:

• a first hinge member for mounting to one of an external vehicle closure member and a vehicle body;
• a second hinge member for mounting to the other of the external vehicle closure member and the vehicle body;
• a pivot pin pivotally connected to the first hinge member to provide pivotal movement of the external vehicle closure member about a horizontal pivot axis between a closed position and an open position;
• a first clamp member with a first clamp surface;
• and
• a second clamp member having a second clamp surface,
• wherein the first and second clamp members are configured to clamp a mounting portion of the second hinge member between the first and the second clamp surfaces,
• wherein the mounting portion of the second hinge member has an opening therethrough for receiving the pivot pin and being oversized relative to the pivot pin to accommodate relative radial adjusting movement during installation, and
• wherein the mounting portion of the second hinge member has a concavo-convex configuration having a convex surface and a concave surface, one of the first and second clamping surfaces has a convex configuration and the other of the first and second clamping surfaces has a concave configuration.
