Boot adjustment

[television]

If no screw stops, are there any wedges that will slide in or out to stop the lid from going down too far

Thanks Television for a quick reply, i shall check these out. Also i have noticed that the other end of the boot (by the small quarter light windows) where it almost tapers to a point the gap is almost non existant, is there any way to actually adjust and slide the boot out so it is slightly more away from the window area? thanks again, Mark O.

Yes the bolt on the hinge on this corner can be loosened and the boot lid pulled back, but not so far as to bring the rear of the boot lid out too much.

Hello Mat and welcome to the forum with your nice car

To adjust the boot lid it is a combination of 2 things and I have sent you a paper on how to adjust it

Hi Malcolm, would you be able to send this to me?

Hi Malcolm,
would it be possible to send me instructions on adjusting my SLK 230 (2000) boot lid to try and level it and get rid of the annoying rattle?
