-- The buffers -3- must engage audibly when pressing them in and the hood trim -1- must be installed.

-- Check the gap dimensions. Refer to Gap Dimensions .

-- Turn the adjusting buffer just enough so that the stop buffers on the closed rear lid touch the luggage compartment trim panel.

-- Check whether rear lid still closes easily, repeat adjustment at adjusting buffer if necessary.

-- If rear lid is difficult to close, tighten the adjusting buffer slightly.
