Hello all,
Well let me first tell you about my problems, and then ask a question. When I bought my Lexus I saw that the previous owner at some time had loaded up the trunk, and then stupidly tried to close it bending something, but something is something I can't figure out. The Trunk sits about an inch or two above the normal sealed flush position to the rear quarters. What is causing this bend? I know that some Lexus owners have time and time again installed new hinges, yet to no avail been able to fix them. Is this a Toyota thing? I look at the hinges, and notice nothing irregular from side to side. What can I do to remedy this? I do have a friend that has an ES at his junk yard, and might just try to put new ( To ME) hinges to see if thats the problem. It's letting water into the trunk and I don't like that. Any help will be appreciated. Thankyou in advance.
