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.

4.Check that the trunk lid assembly is within the specified value as shown in the table.

5.Loosen the mounting bolt of trunk lid striker, adjust the position, and then repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary.

6.Tighten the mounting bolts of trunk lid striker and trunk lid hinge to the specified torque after adjustment.

7.Initialize the height of bumper rubber.

- Insert screwdriver (A) wrapped with the protective tape between the body (1) and the collar (2), and then pull out the bumper rubber (3) from the trunk lid (4).
- 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.

9.Open the trunk lid, and then engage it with the body by rotating the collar.
■ CAUTION ■
Check the collar for looseness.
