<p>A lid for the luggage compartment of a motor vehicle has a hinge pin with opposed ends supported in upwardly opening sockets mounted on vehicle body. Spring biased latches are carried by the sockets and have lugs projecting over the hinge pin to latch the hinge pin and enable pivotal movement of the lid about a hinge axis defined by the hinge pin. The latches are withdrawn to unlatching positions by handles integral with the latches. Springs carried by the sockets lift the end of the hinge pin out of the socket so that the ends of the hinge pin engage with the lugs to hold the latches in the unlatched position to enable subsequent pivotal movement of the lid about a second hinge pin provided at the other end of the lid.</p>
