My trunk opens (& always has) into the small grill sections either side of the decklid.
rubber mark has some angled rubbers for a bracket in this area but i cannot find in google images any pictures with this bracket fitted. Can someone show me this on their car?  |

QUOTE(boxstr @ Mar 9 2018, 12:03 PM)  Pics Craig at CAMP Reviving an older thread. My rear trunk stops mostly before it hits the engine grill areas. I know both my stops are probably worn. I could take them off, weld a bit, grind and file and put back on. Anyone making these? Would be nice to limit the up travel of the rear trunk. I'm worried my hand will slip just that one time. |

I know both my stops are probably worn. I could take them off, weld a bit, grind and file and put back on. Anyone making these? Would be nice to limit the up travel of the rear trunk. I'm worried my hand will slip just that one time. It really is as simple as that flat metal strap that controls the opening height. I just mounted my truck hinges so I'm very familiar with them. One other thing you might be able to check is the body side attachment that the strap mounts to. Looks like this:  You might see if you can bend the body side bracket slightly. It should be about 90 degrees from vertical but over time it may be getting yanked upwards deforming the body side attachment upward. From picture, you can see my take off part was tipped up slightly (and stripped to boot!). When I remade the pivot pin for mine, it tweaked the bracket back to 90 degrees, and then did mock-up of everything before I decided on final position to weld the hinges and this travel limiter bracket. You won't have that luxury but you can probably get some minor improvement by tweaking the bracket. Or just fix your strap, or buy a used one if you're shows heavy wear. @Root_Werks |
