C2 - Deck lid alignment

[tigernut]

Not sure what you "officially" call the thing that hinges up and down to cover the convertible top when down.

One of the back corners sits a little too high, not allowing the weatherstrip to seal properly.

What adjustment can be made to lower one side down properly?

Thanks,
Doug

Doug,
Not an expert (all the experts are on their way to Carlisle ) on this but on my c1 deck lid I was able to get a good adjustment by adding or removing shims where the hinge bolts to the deck. If there is a shim there maybe you could remove it or maybe the hinge is adjustable.

"Dog" has it right. Its been some time since I fooled with one, but by adding shims under ONE of the bolts ( I think the front-most), you change the angle of the hinge and allow it to close further. Chuck
