SETTINGS
The peripheral play is adjusted via the upper
mountings (A).
NOTE: before beginning the sequence of adjustments,
it will be necessary to loosen the striker plate and lock
mountings to prevent the tailgate becoming locked in
the closed position, when checking the peripheral play.Suppression of beading and adjustment of the
stiffness of closure are carried out at lock (G) and
closure striker plate (H).
These adjustments must not influence the peripheral
play previously adjusted.
NOTE: in all cases, you should begin by adjusting the
contact surfaces at the hinges. See section 40 for
peripheral play.

SPECIAL FEATURE OF ADJUSTING THE LOWER
STOP
Position the lower stop (L) and the two bolts (M).
Leave the central bolt loose.
Close the cover.
Pull tab (1) to the exterior (the stop comes into contact
with the lower beading of the casing and allows play to
be eliminated).
Open the luggage compartment lid.
Cut the tab and tighten the central bolt.
NOTE: it is recommended that you order a new lower
stop (K) for this operation. However, it is possible to
use the old stop (without tab), but adjustment of the
lower section will be more difficult.

Tooling
Special tool for removing the rear screen wiper arm.
Unclipping pliers.
"Fir-tree" clips and interior trim clips such as on
door panels, soundproofing mats and mudguard
mountings can be removed easily using these pliers.
Door window winder handles can also be removed
(first apply some pull-off tape to the main point with the
door lining so that this is not damaged during
removal).
The heads of the clips are not deformed and can
therefore be reused after removal due to the flat and
bevelled nose allowing easy access without damaging
the clips.
