Default Trunk lid alignment issue

Folks, the leading edge (closest to the front of the car) of my trunk is a little higher than the trailing edge of the body panel forward of it. Maybe about 1/8" but very noticeable. I have a convertible.

So the question is: Is there way to adjust the trunk lid position to lower the leading edge? When I bought the car used it was like this so I'm not sure how the alignment issue happened in the first place.

I'm sure there is an adjustment in there somewhere, but I'm sorry I don't know where. If it's still under warranty take her to the dealership, and let them line 'er up. Good luck.

Maybe ask this question in this thread. Everyone there owns a Vert, and hopefully someone can help.

See if that changes when you put the top down.

I have the same problem with my 2011 GS. Anyone know how to adjust it?

Hi ya'all, I'm resurrecting this post in hopes that someone will jump in. With the top down there is still an alignment problem with the front edge of the trunk being higher than the rear edge of the next piece forward.

You can see how much different the trunk is from the forward piece. Could this be because I have a power top?
