I found a 914 that I'm interested in but am concerned about the rear trunk lid fit. The drivers side is not bad but the passenger side is low on the front corner and high on the rear corner, above the taillight. I searched and read about the hinge problem (broken spot welds) after looking at the car. Could what I'm seeing be caused by this?
Thanks for any help. |

mine is like that on the drivers side
further investigation did reveal replacement/reweld of that hinge -apparently a little off I improved rear side alignment by tweaking the heighth of the threaded rubber bumper/stop above the taillights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) cjl |

Wish the car wasn't 2 hrs away. The rubber bumpers were missing so I figure I could get it closer using your method. My concern is the right rear corner being lower due to an accident but I can't find anything that would give it away. Thinking about trying to get the car level then taking some measurements. That still wouldn't explain the low front corner so maybe the hinges are the most likely cause. Just thinking out loud.... Bob |
