Title: Trunk lid adjustment
Post by: tinindian on May 24, 2010, 09:50:28 PM

Hello,

I was looking at the adjustment for the trunk lid on my e30 cabby see that the adjustment for height at the hinge is by shims. My left side is too high at the hinge but there is no shim in place, I was wondering if the hinge itself has an adjustment where it attaches to the body.

It does, but it is very little. You need to be patient and have someone in the trunk. That is how I did mine. Also have the specs to you can make sure every part is within range to the OEM measurements.
