My vehicle just returned from paint and I installed the new trunk lid gasket. The issue is that it doesn't want to latch now, even with the latch at full upward adjustment. Previous to the install, the lid would latch with the latch adjusted about in the middle. Now, at full up position I have to slam it several times before it latches closed. I used a quality seal (Daniel Carpenter) and it is set in the correct position. It also altered the height so the lid sits up slightly higher than the end caps. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas?
Quite common with new gaskets, several easy fixes, all require a little time in the sun to soften them up. Bill S.
