Something's Not Quite Right...

[Bob Denman]

The Top Trunk on my RT isn't latching. :yikes:
I had the rear panels off of it, so that I could install the rear side marker LEDs.
I have tried using a loop of metal to try and get the latches to lock up, but they don't; I have to guess that the latching mechanism is left in the "unlatching" position...
What could I have inadvertently loosened, broken, or loused-up to cause this? :dontknow:

i had the same problem. look at all the tabs that lock the plastics together and make sure they are all in place, that's what my problem was

SAME PROBLEM

I think this is common. There really isn't any adjustment in the positioning available.....After it happened to me I left it slightly loose ( the bolts) and got it to latch....Then tightened it all the way......that worked ........Mike :thumbup:

On the rear fascia there is a very small tab in the center right where the lock is. If that tab is not in it's slot, the trunk lid will not close.

I had the same problem and that panel has to be put on just right or the trunk will not close!
