DESCRIPTION
The rear compartment lid employs two torque rods
which are mounted between the hinge assemblies to
act as a counterbalance and hold-open for the lid.
Notches in the hinge rod support plate allow for the
adjustment of the rods to increase.or decrease lid
operating effort.
The rear compartment lid lock employs a side-
action snap-bolt mechanism that has provisions at
the attaching locations for lateral adjustment. Up
and down adjustment to correct lid locking effort is
available at the striker attaching locations.
All styles use a single section cement-on type
weatherstrip which is cemented to the rear com-
partment gutter completely around the lid opening.
