The disclosed inventive concept provides a vehicle package tray apparatus and a hinge apparatus. The hinge apparatus includes a package tray hinge, a spring, a spring cover rotatably attached to the package tray hinge, and a flipper panel hinge. Ends of the spring cover and the spring are insertable into the flipper panel hinge and translate between a first position and a second position as the spring cover rotates with respect to the package tray hinge. The hinge apparatus is used in combination with a package tray having a flipper panel portion pivotally attached to a package tray portion. The hinge apparatus allows the flipper panel portion to rotate in a clockwise manner when a vehicle seatback reclines and applies a force to the flipper panel portion. The spring causes the flipper panel hinge to return to its original, extended position as the seatback returns to its unreclined position.
