Check for proper trunk lid alignment.

^

Upper edge to roof gap should be uniform.

^

Lid should be 1 mm - 2 mm lower than roof.

Lid adjusted too low will result in too much seal compression in area shown by arrows, which increases closing effort.

-

Inspect left and right edges of lid to C-pillar to ensure they are uniform from top to bottom.

Adjustment:
