How can i adjust my trunk. pics inside

[Niz55]

can anyone tell me a good way to adjust this thing. I know I can take it to dealer but I have to leave it there for hrs and they might scratch something so I kind of don't want to take it. I look at it but I cant figure out how to adjust the damn thing.

Try screwing the rubber bump stop farther into the trunk lid.

You don't have to go to the dealer for this, you can do it yourself. I had the exact same issue. Open your trunk, and look on the wall where the latch is (between your tail lights, not on the decklid).

You will notice 4 "anchors" where the cargo net would be. These are nuts - unscrew them, and pull out the plastic trim piece (unscrew 4 of them).

There are two bolts to adjust on the latch itself; loosen them and lower them. They are built in such a way where you can adjust them to acomodate for fitment issues like this.

The issue with yours is the trunk panel is sitting too high because the latch was too high.

I did look at the rubber piece but it is not adjustable. But now with your method I will give it a shot.

Thank You

Ok 1 more adjustment here. If you look at the picture the driver side has a larger gap than the passenger side. Anyway I can shift the trunk to the left little bit so both sides are even?

It's amazing that ford would let something that bad roll off the line without fixing it.

I'm not too hopeful that my car will be very straight... we'll see, I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed

Nothing seems to work. I am taking it to the dealer. This is so fucked up! how can you let a car pass qc this way?:tsk::tsk::tsk::tsk::tsk::tsk:

maybe I did not make it clear. This is only on the passenger side.

It's the same adjustment, when you loosen the latch bolts, you can physically move the latch up-down AS WELL AS left-right. Try it.

I have spent about 4 hours on mine, and my gaps are a lot more acceptable, but they still exist. I have the passenger side done perfectly, but the driver's side has a slight gap.

OK two items to address.

1. slap yourself for driving off lot if that trunk is really closed.

2. Your sales person sucks if they sold you a car like that. They need slapped next.

Heck I have a early build that got twisted from hitting a curb and mine lines up real well. Of course when they went to correct lines they looked at other cars on lot and said screw it we are going by eye and they did very well.

Does anyone know how to adjust the hood?

Does anyone know how to adjust the hood?

Search "hood latch" and a forum will pop up. It takes 2 seconds to do you just need a 10mm deep well socket and about 5 minutes. I just did mine last night and it worked out great. Some people will tell you to pull the plastic liner up but it's unnecessary. You will need to adjust the hood bumpers after you fix the hood latch (stoll within 5 minutes)
