Replacement hinge on kitchen worktop

[JackieR]

Hello, can anyone advise me please?
I have a 2017 VW California Ocean and the sink worktop hinges have broken. I found replacement Aluminium Friction Hinges from RS online. But they are not strong enough to hold the weight of the glass worktop in place. I understand it’s the torque that tells you the strength of the hinge but I’ve looked at the southco hinge (same make as the original) and they seem to have the same torque.
Does anyone know of suitable replacement hinges that work?

I’ve attached photos as these hinges are very different to the recommended replacement hinges I’ve found on old posts.

Thanks
Jackie

Why not the original VW hinges.
Part 14/15 or 16.

Thankyou WelshGas. This site is new to me. The hinge looks very different from the original. That’s why I was put off it in the past. I didn’t want to buy the wrong part. But I’ve managed to do that anyway.
I think it’s just the hinge I need (hope I don’t need a complete glass top replacement as it’s not broken ).
Part no 18 7H7068727 ?
Do you think that looks/sounds correct?

Thanks again
