Default Trunk???

The trunk on my SC does not close flush on the left side as if someone tried to pry it open.....but there are not any marks on the paint that confirm this. Has anyone else ever had this problem with their trunk? Thanks!!!

If your location that you are talking about is on the right side of the left side taillight, where the bumper meets the trunk, then yes, mine pokes out a tad also, it does look like someone tried to pry it open, but never succeeded.

Mine is the left taillight side, but it's the the upper part of the trunk where the trunk closes and meets the rest of the car.......It's kinda like the trunk's not closed all the way and not fitting flush with the rest of the car, but it's locked! It's very strange!

You can adjust this with the hinge adjustmemts on the swing arm inside the trunk.
