M1421008100039
Loosen the trunk lid panel assembly mounting bolts
and move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the
clearance around the trunk lid uniform.
TRUNK LID STRIKER ADJUSTMENTM1421008200036
After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper
routing, loosen the trunk lid striker mounting bolts.
Change the position of the trunk lid striker relative to
the trunk lid latch assembly so that trunk lid locking
and unlocking effort is correct.
TRUNK LID HEIGHT ADJUSTMENTM1421008300033
Turn each trunk lid bumper until the height shown in
the drawing is reached. If the trunk lid panel height
on one side is different from that on the other side
(even after the trunk lid bumpers have been adjusted
to the height indicated in the drawing), turn the trunk
lid bumper(s) slightly to make fine adjustments to the
trunk lid panel height.
NOTE: When the bumper is new, one full turn of the
trunk lid bumper changes the height approximately 3
mm. Turn it clockwise to reduce height. Turn it
anticlockwise to increase height.
