Well... I bought myself a bavaria last weekend... and after hitting my head on the trunk latch pin about 4 times over the last 3 days, it occurs to me that I should figure out how to get the trunk lid to open up more. It only goes up about 3/4 of the way, before hitting a hard detent in the hinge mechanism... I can flex it higher but it will not stay in the higher position.
Car has only 80,000 miles on it, so I doubt it's a part "failure" issue, and more likely an installer error from a paint job done 15+ years ago.
Anyone have any tips on how to adjust the hinges / torsion rods to get the thing to open up more?
I've spent every waking hour fixing a million little things on it... it's gonna be a great car!
Many Thanks!
