Acura 68500-SD4-661ZZ Lid, Trunk

Pull up your car's trunk lid and put soft cloth or padding around the lid's edges to stop paint damage when you take it off. Unplug all the trunk wire connections that keep getting in the way. To help you reposition the trunk lid, draw or trace marks along bolt heads connecting it to the trunk's hinges. Have an assistant help you as you take out both hinge-to-trunk lid bolts from each side, then take off the trunk lid. Changing the trunk lid's position is like going backward during the take-apart process: you place the hinge bolt flanges at the alignment points made earlier. Once mounted, lift the lid and verify that it fits evenly with the sides of the car. Moving the hinge bolts along different slots allows you to change how the lid tilts left and right and moves forward and backward. In order to adjust the settings, simply loosen the hinge bolts, move the lid to your desired position, and secure everything by tightening the bolts again. Moving the rear of the lid up and down will change how it sits against the car panels. Removing and putting back in adjusting shims between the lock and the body, then tightening the lock bolts, lets you do that adjustment. On Legend style vehicles, install the final height adjustment by tightening or loosening the rubber bumpers.
