When I drive over a rough road, the rear trunk unlatches !
I close it and it seems secure; I can't force it open, can't jiggle it open; it just stays latched until I go over a bump. I cannot see any adjustment - I know this is not supposed to happen. I feel kinda stupid about this but I am out of ideas. Is there a solution? Any and all suggestions / remedies are appreciated. Thanks |

QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Jan 31 2016, 09:22 AM)  QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jan 31 2016, 07:33 AM) You can take the upper off and loosen the nut. Adjust the rod a turn or so. Put back on and repeat process until you get the lid tight. Did that and every other trick I could think of. Mine was doing the same thing. Popped open while driving. Ended up welding and reshaping the pin. So either replace the pin or repair it. The welding is what I had done; don't remember if it was Clay or Brad that suggested it. But either way that was the fix. |
