Ok, toes are the bit poking out... the feet are the part that's inside the shoes (they're the silly looking things just below the ankles

 

is aaron buying some shoes? lol

 

The 2 little plastic circular pieces on the latch, try rotating them counterclockwise, you may find the adjustment you're looking for.

 

there is actually adjustments on the latch? I unbolted my latches and was gonna adjust the holes where the bolts go, I actually was gonna elongate the holes. glad I saw this first.

 

No, there is no adjustment on the latch itself. Make sure though that it's sitting flush and pushed all they way in though. There is a small guide that sticks out the back of the latch that should be sitting inside and pushed back. Sorry, its hard to describe. I think I have a few pics if this doesn't make sense

The adjustment ***** everyone keeps talking about are located on the far right and left of the inside of the trunk. On the lid, you will see two square holes. Not sure if you re-used those adjusters or not on the hd lid.

Try making sure the latch is pushed back like I mentioned before. That may help bring the lid tighter down and align it better.

 

Chris post a pic, I have no idea what you are talking about regarding that small guide.

Those readjustment kobs actually work? I have them on the lid but they seem like they're just sitting there semi-loosely, dont forsee any good adjustments coming from them.

I believe the latch was pushed all the way back, in fact I wanted to elongate the holes a bit to make um sit further back, but that may f up the alignment. I'm gonna have to work on it a bit.

 

The ***** do work but I don't think it will in your case as those tend to adjust up. You can make sure they are all the way down though. Loosen the star nut on it and turn the round **** till it meets the star nut. lol...star nut...no idea what it's really called

Here is a pic of the guide I was telling you about. Don't elongate the holes. I think that might mess things up for you. Make sure this guide is all the way back (or is it forward?...you'll get the idea when you see the guide) after you loosen up the bolts.

ohhhh that thing!

okay I'll makre sure it slides all the way in. I did see a slot in the trunk for it. I'll do it as far as I can while sill allowing the bolts to hold the latch in. I didn't want to elongate the holes cuz when I start hacking things up, I usually end up f'in it up LOL!

I know exactly what you mean about the start nut, gonna make sure it's all the way tightened.

 

So how much lighter is it compared to stock? I guess the spoiler wouldn't be functional like the Aero one?

 

it's probably 1/4 the weight of stock, if not less. I can literally lift it with a pinky with no shocks installed. At most I will have 1 shock installed, having 2 might even snap it LOL

 

Take it back to the shop and have them align it it..freakin princess.

 

NEW PIX!

 

IF you've had your OEM spoiler on before, makesure your 3rd brake light is lit



Plug is located right next to trunk light under the panel



Panel dropped looks like this, its behind held up by 7 pins and some double sided tape

 

I also made a video on how it closes

latch is all the way in without modifying
