How is the trunk frame attached to the skin of the rear trunk?
Mine has been repaired, probably because of some rust issues, and the part of the frame to which the rear latch attaches seems to pull away from the skin causing the lid to sit too high. It looks like the P.O. puts something in there, an adhesive, or foam, or something....I will dig into it more, but I am curious how it is attached from the factory, because I can see no welds. TIA -Andrew |

That situation sounds familiar. Mine looks like you describe but I'm not sure how to deal with it either. Is this what yours looks like?:
Can this be resolved without prying the pieces apart? If that's really foam in there, I'd almost rather dissolve it out with acetone, then soak it with converter than try to take it apart. |
