A hinge assembly includes a hood bracket connected to a vehicle hood. The hood bracket includes a side plate defining a slot having a perimeter entirely bounded by the side plate so as to be spaced from a side plate edge, the side plate also defining a notch open at the side plate edge. A hinge arm has first and second ends rotatably connected to a vehicle body and the hood bracket. The hinge arm includes a slot engagement member extending into the slot to limit a range of rotation of the hood bracket relative to the hinge arm, and a notch engagement member extendable into the notch and configured to removably secure the hinge arm to the hood bracket to limit rotational movement therebetween.
