My trunk lid does not close evenly across. The passenger side sits a good 1/2 or more higher than the drivers side. Its the actual trunk lid not the spoiler if you look right above the tail light. This car has the later non pull down trunk latch so adjusting that is out of the question. I adjusted the rubber bumpers inside and that does nothing too. Is there any trick or method I am missing?

 

Easiest thing to check first would be to disconnect the struts & see if one is pushing harder or one is one out allowing that side to fall & "twist" the hatch.

 

ahhh...good ole American engineering. The folks who made these cars had a great eye for design, but absolutely horrid in executing the actual build of our cars. My car had the same issue. Open the lid and take a look at where the hinges make contact in the trunk area. More than likely, that area will need to be 'modified' (with a hammer!!!). With the trunk close, the hinges make contact with the steel in the trunk and do not let it close evenly. It is a real pain the in *** to line up the trunk lid. You will need to constantly loosen and adjust the hinges/tunk lid.

 

I did the same thing MR.IROC-Z did to my 87' vert. good luck!

 

Thanks guys hopefully I get time to play with it this weekend!

 

I thought (maybe I am wrong been about a year since I have seen my car) that there were rubber screw bumpers for adjusting the trunk up and down. I know the coupes have them on the hatch... My convertible trunk is off center, It is shifted to one side... The spoiler lines up right, but the trunk itself is off to (I think the right).

There was screw bumpers on mine. They're on the lid itself.



You can see them on the corners.
