Boot hinge problem

[sgrimshaw]

At the weekend I noticed that one of the boot hinges has moved.

Difficult to describe, but I´ll give it a go.

The hinges are circular where they are attached to the bodywork, and I am sure that both of them used to be flush against the bodywork.

The offside one now appears to have moved towards the rear of the car, so that there is now a gap of 3-4mm between the hinge and the bodywork.

Any idea how to reseat the hinge back to it´s correct position?

Many thanks,

Simon,
I'll post then

Only 2-parts to look at.

Conical part on main body is held on with 1 bolt from underneath.
This part can twist if not secure and result in a slight push or pull on the boot.
Bolt is difficult to reach from side of tank.
Should be a snug fit in the main body if tightened

Boot part has a flat aluminium bar that can be
adjusted for alignment with the 2 bolts in slotted holes which allows the boot to move front and back

Really nothing much to do apart from 3 bolts to play
around with and test for fit.

Hope this helps
