trunk alignment issues... 99 civic coupe
Well I recently traded my oem trunk lid with an si spoiler for a oem trunk lid w no spoiler ... Well When i put the new trunk lid on it sits kinda crooked the drivers sides sits higher than the passenger side... and because of it there is a slight gap.. I was wondering if anybody knew an alighmnet secret or the easiest way to fix this problem.. thanks

Mine was tweaking to one side like that when I tightened the bolts all the way done with it open.
I just left then slightly loose and shut the trunk down with the backseat folded down. Adjusted it by hand to get the gaps right, and went in through the backseat to tighten the bolts to spec.
Hope it helps.
Good luck

I have used pieces of wood, or folded cardboard to get them even.-Bob
