Adjusting rear lid

Note
Vehicle must be on the ground to carry out rear lid adjustment.
♦
The rear lid lock -2- is bolted directly to the rear lid -1-. It does not have elongated holes, so it cannot be
♦
adjusted.
The stop buffers -3- 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 pin -4- without excessive force.
♦
The rear lid adjustment is described step by step below.
Use setting gauge -3371- ⇒ Body Repairs; Rep. Gr. 00 ; Tech‐
