The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hi guys, just wanna start off by saying hi. (new member)
I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I have a 1974 challenger and Im having trouble with alligning the deck lid . I see some bars that go across the top behind the hinges but im not sure how to adjust them? anyone got an idea??? I tried lowering the trunk lock but there is still a gap. Thanks guys

Do not mess with the bars. They are torsion bar springs and have nothing to do with aligning the rear deck lid. If you open the trunk and look on both sides of the lid, you will see two bolts on each side. These not only attach the deck lid to the hinges, they also are the adjustment for the deck lid placement. Loosen them a bit, adjust the deck lid alignment and tighten them back up.
