    Trunk Lid Adjustment

    Is there a way to adjust the trunk lid left and right? I see the 4 bolts allow it to go in and out, but dont see any way to shift it from side to side

    don't believe so. should be able to get some angle on it if you slide one side in and the other side out. Also should have some adjustment on the striker and/or catch. Might be able to tweak it around enough to get it to sit right between those.

      Yes you can adjust it side to side. Its called "bend-o-just" . (A term I learned when I was a body man.) Remove the striker. Open the lid a few inches. Have a friend pull the lid in the direction it needs to go. You give the lid a few shoves toward him. Don't go crazy, you can overdo it! Once it is centered, put the latch back on so it closes straight down. WagonMan

        I was going to recommend the brute force method as well. It will work.

          Is the "bend o just" made by Whamo ? Not a question, but an attempt at humor.

            It's a tool made by Blammo. The same great company that brought you LOG!
