1.Loosen the trunk lid striker mounting bolt, and then adjust the values of E and G on the table to within the specified value.

2.Lift up the trunk lid assembly to 100 – 150 mm (3.937 – 5.906 in) and close.

3.Check for noise when engaging trunk lid lock and trunk lid striker.

• Rotate the collar and contact it with the bumper rubber.

8.Close the trunk lid by pushing with hands.
NOTE：
The bumper rubber is pressed to the vehicle body side, and it is compressed in the trunk lid.

■ CAUTION ■
• Close the trunk lid gently because the bumper rubber is compressed excessively by slamming the trunk lid.
  
• If the bumper rubber is compressed excessively, initialize the height of bumper rubber, and then repeat the procedure again.
