Re: [Chrysler300] Rising Deck Lid Corner

["jean-yves chouinard" <jymopar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are 3 bolts on each trunk hinge bracket that you can loosen up to adjust the height of the top corners on the trunk lid. The procedure is outlined in the Chrysler shop manual ( 1960 ) in chapter 23, page 77 and 78,...if you have the manual.  Maybe the 3 bolts came loose on that side and the lid moved?? Just watch out when you close the trunk lid after adjusting ( lowering) the hinge,  as it will be closer to the car's body and you can chip your paint if the lid is too low and contacts the body along that upper edge.
Good luck!

  Hi Group:

  I have a problem with the deck lid on my G coupe. The right hand top 
  corner has risen maybe 1/2" to 3/8" above where it should be when it is 
  closed. Can someone (anyone) let me know how one goes about adjusting that 
  problem, or from whence it might stem? Is there room for adjustment on the 
  hinge? I don't want to start playing around with it and find that I am 
  making it worse. Your collective advice will be most appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Pete Fitch
