Hood hinges for 240s

    I discovered that my 1990 240 has a bent driver's side hood hinge,
    causing the hood to be lifted up almost 1/2" and allowing rain and snow
    to affect the electronics.

    The "local" Volvo junkyard (about 50 miles away) has a variety of hinges
    from 1983-1993 but none from 1990. Are these pretty much all the same
    across the various years of 240s?

    Thanks!

    The hinges are identical from 1975-1993, chances are you can even find
    one the same color. Keep them clean and lubricated to prevent the bending.

    Thanks, James. I wondered what caused the bending; that side of the
    hood had always been up just a bit (less than 1/4") but recently noted
    that it was much more so.
