LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT DOOR (for Sedan): Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Toyota Yaris. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge onto the vehicle body and door. The door cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute standard bolts (with washers) for the centering bolts when making adjustments.
For bolts without torque specifications, check the standard bolt table (see SPECIFIED TORQUE FOR STANDARD BOLTS ).
