deck lid adjustment

[400/6/PAC]

Hey Guy's
need some help please.
I got my deck lid on and it closes great.
I know how to adjust everything except the side body line.
I have a 1/8" gap on the left side and a 3/8 gap on the right side.
I know it don't sound like much but it really stands out.
How can I move the whole lid over without changing the other settings.
I thought about shimming with washers, would that work?
Thanks
David

David,
Try this. Open the deck lid all the way. Place your hands on the edge of the lid that is tight. Then, give the deck lid a good shove.  Maybe 2 or 3 times. Close the lid & check your progress.
You may have to adjust the deck lid latch just in case it is "pulling" it to one side as well. You may also want to place a rag or something on top of the quarter on the opposite side that you are pushing on.
Good Luck!

That was my first thought to push it over.
Do you think that if it works it will stay?
do you think the rails may be bent to the left?

The hinges, I don't why I called them rails.

I say go for a shove, that's what we do while building cars all day.  Seems to work.
