Default How to adjust/align trunk lid?

Has anyone tried adjusting or aligning the trunk lid height?
I'd like to raise the rear right corner of the trunk lid by a couple of mm as the lower edge is rubbing against the bumper and removing the paint.
Is it even possible to just raise one corner?
Cheers.

According to Haynes you can adjust the height, and left-right, front-rear, but just one side is unlikely. It's probably a bent arm, or the whole lid.

You could try moving that side to the back of the car a bit to see if it will clear the bumper that way. It's the two bolts that connect the lift arm to the trunk lid. Take off the liner. Loosen them and adjust the lid. Draw a line around the current placement first for context.

Might be better off figuring out what's bent and replacing it.
