Abstract

In a motor vehicle a door and the body are connected by a pantographic hinge device, the arm of which is substantially constructed from a housing module, from which rotatable shaft sections coupled in two end regions project and which has an open side, and a coupling mechanism module for creation of the rotational coupling of the shaft sections to one another, which can be inserted into the housing module through the open side. The coupling mechanism module is inserted into the housing module after the door and body connected to one another through the housing module have been painted.
