rear trunk adjustment?

OK so I am restoring a 914 and just installed the rear trunk, hinges, and springs with new rollers.

The trunk works fine, but the edge closest to the engine bay is a bit high. I checked for broken spot welds on the hinge mounts and there are none YEAH!

the hinge has a sliding metal bar the slips over a pin on the sidewall, and a bolt on the hinge. Is this to allow adjusting the height of the trunk surface? I have searched for some guidance, but only found quotes that there is no way to adjust

any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Be very sure that the welds really aren't broken . you did the rollers ... good call as they help stop
the binding that can cause that breakage.

I messed with that slotted bar for days . it seems as it should be adjusting . but i had weld issues . Once fixed I was adjusted correctly .

The only other thing that would change the height of the lid are worn bolts .
