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‐

nical data; Body gap dimensions to check or adjust the gap

dimensions.
