180 vs 270 degree Sprinter Door HingesUpdated a year ago

Sprinter vans have the option to come with 270-degree hinges that open all the way to the body of the van. While this is convenient for repeatedly accessing the rear garage area, the 180-degree hinges can be even more beneficial. 

The 180-degree hinges have holes that can be used for mounting certain gear, which makes is possible to add things like bikes, storage boxes, spare tire carriers, rear door platforms, and more - without worrying about hitting the side of your van or a window. 

Having 180-degree hinges isn't just convenient, but this is the best place for adding gear in the rear and much safer than installing anything on the doors themselves.

Which hinges do I have?

To find out which hinges you have, you can do a quick visual check or open the doors and see how far they open up.

180 degree hinges open to be parallel to the back of the van.
