    Default Boot Lid

    I was washing my Car this morning and I noticed that the boot lid sits slightly higher on the right hand side then it does on the left! Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Has the car received a bump to the rear sides at some time? Or a large load put in with the lid held down over it? A raised or uneven panel can sometimes point to panel repairs. My old car had three such repairs, visible around the rear tailgate gaps and left side "sit", all because the panel had to be beaten into shape after the car was swiped by a loony in June 2008.

    Important as knowing how to fix the oddity is knowing also what caused it in the first place.

    Nar the car hasn't been bumped or had the boot lid forced shut. So I dunno What the go is! It's not very noticable so I think that is why it never really stood out!

    Check the rubber stopper on either side. Without looking at mine im pretty sure they are the screw type. (i.e. you twist them and they move in or out to adjust the height). one may be sitting out to far and holding the boot up higher then it should be or vice versa.
