Rely don't understand how the hinge tears the hinge unless you got it way to long. "inner hinge" There is o inner hinge itis all one piece.

Rob,
1 There is a lot of junk hinge rubber on the market. It looks like the original stuff that lasted 10 years but it sure isn't the same. The safe bet is the fabric reinforced product.
2 The door and body extrusions must be straight.
3 Gas shocks place a lot of strain on the door end but I don't think you would have them.
4 Do NOT use a petroleum product to install the hinges. Use liquid soap and flush with water when done.
5 The short stainless hinges made for each end of the door will save a lot of rubber hinge.
HTH
