Adjusting lid
  Note
t  Vehicle must be standing on the ground to perform the basic adjustment of the rear lid.
t  The rear lid lock is bolted directly to the rear lid. It does not have elongated holes, so it cannot be adjusted.
t  Adjusting buffers cannot be used to adjust rear lid as they are in some other vehicles. They have the function of stabilising and damping the rear lid.
In conclusion, the rear lid adjustment is described in several steps.
Use the setting gauge -3371- → Rep. Gr.00 to check or adjust the gap dimensions.
–  Remove gas strut → Chapter.
–  Adjust rear lid at striker pin → Chapter.
–  Adjust rear lid on rear lid hinges by loosening bolts -3- → Chapter.
–  Adjust rear lid on rear lid hinges by loosening hexagon nut -3- → Chapter.
–  Adjust adjustment buffer → Chapter.
  Note
The lid is adjusted correctly if the gaps/shut lines are even all around, the lid is not too deep or too high and all contours align when the lid closed.
