Adjusting rear lid
Note
♦
Vehicle must be standing on its wheels to enable rear lid to be adjusted.
♦
The rear lid lock -3- is bolted directly to the rear lid -1-. It does not have elongated holes, so it cannot be
adjusted.
♦
The adjustment buffers -2- on the left and right are not a means of adjustment. Their purpose is to stabilise
and dampen the rear lid -1-.
♦
The rear lid is adjusted correctly if the gaps/shut lines are even all around, the door is not too deep or does
not stand proud and all contours align when the rear lid is closed.
♦
The rear lid must engage in the striker plate without excessive force being applied.
Carry out following work:
Use the setting gauge -3371- ⇒ Body Repairs; Rep. gr. 00 ;
Bodywork gaps/shut lines; Front body to check or set the gap di‐
mensions.
– By loosening the bolts -4-, it is possible to adjust rear lid -1- in
oversized holes of hinge -arrows a- and -b-.
