Trunk lid alignment?!?!?!

[Linkster1666]

I would take it back to the body shop that did the repair after it was wrecked for alignment issues.

Nope, they had it for a month and easy enough fix.

Beat me to it!

After i installed the stronger trunk struts it messed up my alignment. I love the struts though w the GT500 wing and added weighht. Anyways, I watched video and attempted that fix and it didnt help out my SIDE to SIDE adjustment issue. The video fix is for vertical movement ONLY.
So i followed the instructions of ford link someone added which led me to the bolt studs on trunk adjustment for horizontal movement. That helped me big time, it made it slightly better. The small adjustment bump bolts w rubber made the differnece. It looks a whole lot better, and ive accepted that its never gonna be perfect because ford quality control on panel gaps sucked from factory!!!!!!! Anyways thanks TJ for vid and reply. =)

Thanks Anthony

I’m glad that you made it better but there is no reason for stronger struts to change the lateral adjustment if both struts are of equal strength
I had this problem with my ford explorer because struts are not the same on both sides and i inverted them putting new ones on. I almost started to adjust the rear lift gate before switching struts side to side

Also, here's all the S550 body gap specs too, which applies to all of the S550's from 2015-current.
