What Causes Uneven Trunk Gap Width?

[DelJulianna]

There are two scenarios that can lead to an uneven trunk gap width. The first is excessive wear on the trunk hinges. If you notice significant play when closing the trunk, this indicates hinge wear, and the only solution is to replace the hinges. The second scenario is improper hinge adjustment. In this case, simply find the correct position and secure the four screws. Here are specific details about trunk opening mechanisms: 1. Remote key fob: The most common method to open the trunk externally is via the remote key. Pressing the trunk release button (usually marked with a raised car rear icon) opens the trunk. Some vehicle models don't have a dedicated trunk button on the key fob - the trunk unlocks when pressing the general unlock button. 2. Interior controls: Interior trunk release mechanisms include button-type and lever-type. Button locations vary by manufacturer and model, typically found either on the left side of the steering wheel or in the center console area. For example, the Sagitar's trunk button is usually located on the door panel. Some models use a lever instead of a button, generally positioned on the lower left side of the driver's seat or steering wheel.
