<p>A panel hinge is provided for connecting a panel to a car body of a motor vehicle in an articulated fashion, which includes, but is not limited to a first hinge part for being mounted on the car body, a second hinge part for being mounted on the panel, a pivot bearing element that is connected to the first hinge part and about which the second hinge part can be pivoted. The second hinge part can be axially displaced, a clamping element that is rotatable about the pivot bearing element and can be clamped to the pivot bearing element. An axial position of the second hinge part can be fixed with the clamping element, and a first engaging element that is realized on one component, namely on the clamping element or the second hinge part, and engaged with a second engaging element that is realized on the other respective component in such a way that the clamping element is connected to the second hinge part in a rotationally rigid fashion. At least one of the two engaging elements is realized such that it is plastically deformed by the initial pivoting of the second hinge part in such a way that it is disengaged from the other engaging element.</p> |
