[vol96]

I've read thru all the old posts on this topic and the one solution that seems like it should work doesnt on my car (73E).

The problem is right side sits too low and too close the fender. The normal suggestion is to put shims between the lid and the right hinge. However this just pushes the hinge lower and does nothing to raise the right side of the deck lid.

My current theory is that my car is missing either:
1. Right side shock (tho there is no mounting fittings for it). Car originally had a/c condensor on lid. My thinking is that maybe a right side shock would push up on the lid and make it sit higher when closed.

or

2. Some kind of a stop for the right hinge to prevent it from lowering too much.

Any ideas?

I've adjusted the cork screw stoppers, the latch pin, latch and the hinge bolts with no success. And I do have some washers btwn right hinge and lid....but as I said they seem to have no effect.

Thanks,
Joe
