Q: How do you replace the support struts and adjust the trunk lid alignment on Honda Del Sol?
A: As for the replacement of the support struts it is necessary to lift the trunk lid and having released the lower end of the strut to remove the plastic cover from it. You only need a small screwdriver the pop off the clip in order to separate the strut and you also need to pop off the nut in order to separate the top of the strut. It is withdrawn in the reverse order that it is installed. For the trunk lid, what you need to do is, mark the alignment around the hinge-to- trunk lid bolts, then, with the help of the other person, that can be your friend or anyone, one has to unlock the support struts and also, remove the hinge-to- trunk lid bolts from both the sides in order to lift the trunk lid. Retracking should allow the hinge bolt flanges to be in line with the marks made earlier. When the arrangement is over, make sure the lid is properly aligned with other body surfaces; turn the hinge bolts to achieve the necessary position. The height of the rear of the lid can be gotten to by unlocking its lock striker bolts and using adjusting shims between the lock striker and the car body and then relocking the bolts. Last but not the least, come to the position of the trailing edge of the trunk lid and fine tune the position of the trunk lid edge cushions.
