Paint Chipped on Lower Corners of Trunk Lid
PROBLEM
When closed forcefully, the trunk lid may hit the rear panel, chipping the paint, on the lower corners of the trunk lid.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Install new trunk lid edge cushions and pack the trunk weatherstrip with additional cushioning material.
NOTE:
Use the rubber windshield dam listed under PARTS INFORMATION to pack the weatherstrip.
PROCEDURE
1.
Open the trunk lid and remove the trunk weatherstrip from the rear edge of the trunk opening.
2.
Peel the release paper off of the cushioning material. Cut the cushion exactly in half and soak the pieces in soapy water or tire lubricant.
3.
Insert a piece of small-gauge wire through the outer 3 mm vent hole on the right side of the trunk weatherstrip. Feed the wire through the
weatherstrip, toward the center of the car, then out the right 5 mm vent hole as shown.
