Trunk swap problem.

[sublime]

Ok I did a 92-93 trunk swap a couple months back, then I got the matching 92-93 outer tails (had 90-91 outer tails, so it didn't look right), but anyways i've noticed on the passenger side the tails don't exactly meet up, but on the driver side they do, take a look:



It's a lot more noticeable in day time, and in real life. It's like there is a huge gap between them, anyone know?

was ur car in an accident before, could be that the frame on that side is a little off. could be from an accident or just age

did you line your trunk lid up when you swaped it? If it is aligned properly try taking the light off and putting it back on maybe it didnt set right

Well as far as I know it hasnt been hit, maybe age.

Yeah I will try this, thanks.

The latch that is mounted to the body of the car is adjustable. I think it takes an allen head or maybe a star bit but anyways just try adjusting it to the right just a little bit until the gap between the lights is the same on both sides. Later.

Yeah sounds like the latch. When my car was repaired with a salvaged trunk lid the dealer body shop was having alignment issues relating to this and then decided to replace the latch and then realign it. This was also affecting the height of the trunk on the affected side of impact.
