The trunk lid is rather massive and it is rather cumbersome to pry and to place it back; therefore it is highly recommended to have at least two persons in order to accomplish this task. To start with, lift the trunk lid and place caps or padding materials over the edges of the trunk compartment since it will be hurt by the removal process. Disconnect the multi connectoirs from the license plate, brake light, and the trunk lock actuator then remove the wire harness and the actuator cable through the hole in the trunk lid and tie the string or wire to the cable so as to ease its fixing again. Label or mark along the trunk hinges using a pen or pencil while removing the lid or before closing it, so as to align the marks while replacing the lid. On both sides unscrew the hinge to trunk lid bolts and with some help lift off the trunk lid. Reinstallation is the process, the opposite of removal, with the hinge flanges having to be placed right on the marks made earlier. After installation is complete, shut the lid, and ensure it is properly aligned with neighboring body surfaces; mechanical alterations are possible by loosening hinge bolts, manually realigning the lid, and then tightening the bolts again. The rear of the lid may be height adjustable by loosening the lock striker bolts and moving the striker up or down as required, a reference mark around the striker must be made before alteration. Last but not the least; adjust the positioning of the trailing edge of the trunk lid; this can be done by either pushing or pulling on the edge cushions until it gets to the proper setting.
