Jeep Wrangler JK Rear Hinge Cover Light Mount
Print Profile(1)
Description
Description:
A clean and functional cover for the rear glass hinge that not only hides the stock hardware but also adds a useful feature — a mounting spot for additional lighting.
Designed for those who want a subtle upgrade without ugly brackets or DIY-looking solutions. It fits in place of the original hinge area and looks close to OEM, but with added functionality.
This project is based on the original design:

Big thanks to the original creator for the base model and inspiration — this version builds upon that idea by adding integrated lighting functionality and refining usability 🙌
Features:
- Mounts directly onto the rear glass hinge
- Integrated space for LED / compact light installation
- Clean, minimal design
- No modifications required (with proper print settings and light selection)
- Perfect for camping, off-road use, or night-time visibility
Use Cases:
- Rear area illumination
- Lighting when the glass is open
- Extra exterior light without bulky mounts
Printing Recommendations:
- Material: PETG (standard or CF), ASA (standard or CF)
- Infill: 20–40%
- Layer height: 0.2 mm
- Supports: depending on orientation
Notes:
PLA is not recommended unless you enjoy watching your part slowly deform in the sun.
The model can be easily modified to fit different LED types or wiring setups if needed.
With proper lighting installed, it looks like something that should’ve come from the factory — not a last-minute “I need light back here” hack.
