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-.
