Hinges for bike carrier

[Adrianlle]

Good Evening. I am lucky to have the factory fitted bike rack on my 2004 JC. However I now need to replace the hinges on the rack that enable the vertical rack to open to the horizontal position. I also need to replace the U shaped bar that connects the hinges and supports the bike channels. Can anyone help with pointing me to a source. I thought of Manfred Ermel but otherwise have no ideas where I might find the parts. Forgive the English as my German is poor (to my shame). Perhaps the planned trip for Cook to Bavaria in July for a few weeks will help it improve! Adrian

In case you still need a solutions:

If your bike carrier is the stainless steal version that is attached to the door hinges you can contact Apulien

They have been building the carrier for Westfalia and I got a pair of replacement hinges about two years ago.
