Rear Lid, Adjusting

The vehicle must be on the ground when adjusting the rear lid.

The rear lid is properly adjusted when there is an overall even gap dimension when closed, it is not too far inward or outward and contours align.

Rear lid must engage in striker pin without great force.






To adjust or control gap dimensions use the adjustment gauge (3371).
