In this video, we show you how to swap from 270 degree door to 180 degree door hinges on a 2019+ Mercedes Sprinter Van. This allows you to install many different aftermarket ladder/tire racks and bike racks as well. Most of these cool pieces of aftermarket gear require the use of 180 degree hinges. This is a pretty easy task, but make sure you grab a partner for it! Thanks for watching!

Perfect. Thank you!! Not quite as easy as you make it look, but very doable. 😊

great video, thank you for sharing. I wanted to point out that the upper bolt of the top hinge as well as the 2 of the bottom one (van side) require an E10 socket (a male TORX socket). a 5/16 or 8mm HEX does fit but is not the 100% correct tool. Given the cost of the hinges (and the price of the van), spending another $10 on a socket sounds reasonable :-)

@@rb_advantures1392 Thanks I’m actually doing the opposite swapping out my 180s for 270s but the process should be hopefully the same

Does the newer model (2019+) hinges work on a 2015 model sprinter?

[@rmease]

Hello! When adding the top 180 hinge,and after bolting to the van, I am finding that holes on the door don’t line up easily with the hinge holes. Did you have to loosen the bottom hinge bolts to give some flex in order to be able to position the top and bolt it in?

Is there a stop stage at 180° already? I do moving and was thinking to get 270° hinges but not if it’s just 1 stage instead of 2 stage where they stop from flying all the way back

[@greatcesarsghost]

Do u know if hinges are made for older vans like 2000 GMC sevana

[@superbravoflamingo866]
