TIPS AND TRICKS TO ENSURE PROPER TRUNK DOOR CLEARANCE

ADJUSTMENT CHECK LIST:

CARGO BOXES

 

 

Loosen the clamps on the inside of the box.

 

Once they’re free shift them all the way forward or backward.  
You will be able to adjust the box this way.

 

Open the hatch and adjust the box accordingly so there is  
space between the door and the box. 

Figure 2

 

Make sure the box is strait and the clamps are around the bars.

 

Once they’re all situated tighten the clamps. Done!
