Removing
1. Remove both license plate lamps.
2. Remove the lamp and luggage compartment light switch.
3. With the battery already disconnected, release the wiring harness and pull it out of the trunk lid.
4. Place pieces of fabric under the corners of the trunk lid.
5. Mark the position of the hinge bolts with a pencil, then unscrew the bolts a few turns.
6. With the help of an assistant, remove the hinge bolts and, supporting the trunk lid, remove it from the car.
Installation
Install in the reverse order of removal, putting the bolts in the previously marked position before tightening them. The trunk lid must be centered on the opening and in the correct position relative to the surrounding body parts. The trunk lid must fit snugly against the seal. If necessary, adjust the position of the cover in the opening by loosening the hinge bolts. The fit of the cover to the seal is regulated by the selection of gaskets for the lock retainer.
