Guys,

Working on getting the back end of the charger squared away. After getting on a bunch of the metal screwed into place, we've noticed a few issues with the trunk lid.     Pictures attached!

Whats the proper way of getting this to line up a bit better?    Any tricks ya'll have to get this to play nicer?

Is the Trunk latched closed. Why are pics sideways? LEON.

I loosen up the hinges & latch,close the deck lid align the deck lid & tighten up the hinges & latch working through the missing tail lights it will get you very close, I also do this with no hinge springs on .

You should put the end caps on the 1/4 panel to line up with
Looks like you are trying to line up with 1/4 but then that will make the trunk lid too far forward

Stick someone in the trunk to tighten the bolts while you adjust the lid. Don't forget the end caps.
