Trunk Lid



TRUNK LID

ADJUSTMENT OF CLEARANCE AROUND TRUNK LID







Loosen the trunk lid hinge mounting bolt and nut, and move the trunk lid panel assembly to make the clearance around the trunk lid uniform.

Trunk lid hinge mounting bolt and nut tightening torque: 13 ± 2 N.m (111 ± 22 in-lb)

TRUNK LID LATCH ADJUSTMENT







After checking the trunk lid release cable for proper routing, loosen the trunk lid latch mounting bolts. Change the position of the trunk lid latch relative to the trunk lid striker so that trunk lid locking and unlocking effort is correct.

Trunk lid latch mounting bolt tightening torque: 9.0 ± 2.0 N.m (80 ± 17 in-lb)

TRUNK LID HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT







Turn each trunk lid dumper 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 dumpers have been adjusted to the height indicated in the drawing), turn the trunk lid dumper(s) slightly to make fine adjustments to the trunk lid panel height

NOTE: When the dumper is new, one full turn of the trunk lid dumper changes the height approximately 3 mm (0.1 inch). Turn it clockwise to reduce height. Turn it counterclockwise to increase height
