2.12 Adjusting rear lid
Note
♦
Vehicle must be on the ground to carry out rear lid adjustment.
♦
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 adjusting buffers -2- on the left and right sides cannot be used to adjust the rear lid. Their purpose is to
stabilise and dampen the rear lid -1-.
♦
The rear lid is adjusted correctly if the 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 pin -3- without excessive force.
