Crooked rear deck lid
I noticed this before but I never realled cared about it but my rear deck lid on the driver side is high. Passanger side it even... and the glass on the driverside seems a little more gapped out more and slightly higher too. why is this?

Re: Crooked rear deck lid
Looks like your hinges are bent. I can't tell for sure though without seeing the gap where the glass meets the roof.

Re: Crooked rear deck lid
maybe all above is correct but.... there was a problem with the hatch pistons working the glass back towards the rear over time due to pressure and heat warming the glue that adheres the glass to the hatch deck lid. There are oblong holes which allow you to move the glass fore and aft some. Which by looking at your pics appears to be the case imo. I have the same issue with my GTA. just haven't bothered to fix it yet. my friend fixed the problem on his TA by removing and reinstalling the glass/hatch deck lid and it came out perfect.

Re: Crooked rear deck lid
Its not the lid where it mounts to the glass... when I bought the car the entire hatch/glass and lid was perlaced with one from the junkyard and the deck lid was green... He gave me the origional deck lid with the car and I swapped that out myself with the origional making sure that side was as far forward as possible in the holes, The green deck lid was also like this, Im thinking its with the glass, does anyone think it could be a frame issue?
