Kentrol Windshield Hinge Set


Kentrol makes parts and accessories from stainless steel.  So do a great many other manufacturers of parts and accessories.  That being said, why should you choose a windshield hinge set made by Kentrol as opposed to one made by the other guys?  The answer is simple.  It is the stainless steel. 

Not catching on yet?  Ok, here is the explanation.  The stainless steel that is used to make the windshield hinge sets (and every other stainless steel Kentrol product) is what is known as a virgin metal.  This particular type of stainless steel is not susceptible to rust.  It is grade 304 surgical stainless steel and it also happens to be simple to take care of.  Whenever your Kentrol windshield hinge set gets to where it is looking a bit rough, simply wax it. 

Additionally, these windshield hinge sets come to you complete with all of the hardware that you will need to properly and safely install them…and the installation hardware is also made from stainless steel. 

Kentrol Stainless Steel Windshield Hinge Set with Mirror Holes

This particular windshield hinge set for Jeeps comes complete with holes that have been pre-drilled to be able to accept your mirrors.  These hinges are for replacing your upper door hinges and with the addition of these hinges, you will be able to give your Jeep a more custom look.  As with all of the Kentrol parts and accessories, these hinges are made from the virgin steel and as such they are not magnetic and not susceptible to rust.  These hinges have been given a highly polished mirror finish.

Windshield Hinge Set

This particular set is for the Wrangler Unlimited, TJ and Rubicon with a model year between 1997 and 2006.  They are made from the same type of stainless steel as all of the other Kentrol products and unlike the ones described above, these have been given a finish that is a black powder coat.  They do come with all of the hardware that you will find necessary for installation.

These hinges give you the option to get the quality of the stainless steel accessories with the style of the black powder coat.  You still never need to worry about rust because of the type of steel Kentrol uses.  

When you are looking for a windshield hinge set for your Jeep, Kentrol has a few different ones for you to choose from.  No matter which one you choose, it will be made from the virgin type of stainless steel that is non-magnetic and won’t rust.  That said, you can depend on these hinges to give you a long product life.  They also come with warranties to back them up and they are made with pride right here in the USA.

Kentrol Hood Set


The first thing that you need to know about anything made by Kentrol is that they use a special type of steel.  This is T – 30 stainless steel and this steel is what the key to Kentrol being the industry leader is.  See, T – 30 steel is something that is known as a virgin metal.  This type of steel is not magnetic and it won’t even rust like other metals.  It has these properties along with the ability for it to be polished to a mirror finish.  Each of the parts and accessories that Kentrol makes has to pass thorough inspections before they are okayed to leave the Kentrol factory.  With this intense attention to detail, rest assured that any Kentrol products you purchase will be only the best.

Stainless Steel Hood Kit by Kentrol

If you work with or use stainless steel frequently then you will know that not all stainless parts are made the same.  The Kentrol parts and accessories such as the stainless steel hood kit are made from sheets – or tubing, depending on the product – of 410 or 304 stainless steel.  This is the virgin steel that will never rust. 

Using their proprietary drawings and tools that are made by the Kentrol engineers, the stainless steel parts are first stamped and then they are drilled and machined, welded and the they are polished all while making sure that you get the best fit and finish possible.  Kentrol hood vents and hinges are a bit larger than normal.  This is done on purpose so that they will be able to hide any of the paint seams or any of the body primer that might be exposed if they were a bit smaller. 

When you compare these parts and accessories to the competition, materials used by Kentrol are not just thicker but the parts also come to you with all of the hardware that you will need to install the kit safely and properly.  Additionally, all of the installation hardware is also made from the same type of stainless steel as the hood kit itself. 

Black Powder Coated Stainless Steel Hood Kit

With this hood kit by Kentrol you have the option to get your top notch stainless steel parts and accessories with a black high gloss finish while still not having to worry about your parts and accessories rusting.  Kentrol has used the same type of 304 stainless steel for this kit as they do with all of their other parts and accessories.  The only difference here is that this one gives you the option of getting it in the normal mirror polish stainless steel finish or in a beautiful high gloss black powder coat finish.
