Trunk Problem

[911nsx]

Has this happened to anyone on here? My trunk is closed but the part where the struts are located is lifted on both sides.. Can this be fixed by replacing struts?

Bad struts should not cause the tunk lid to lift, they should only cause the trunk lid to not stay open. Check your strut mounts and hinge bolts to see if they're tight. Something is misaligned.

The hinge could possibly also be cracked. Pics here for what to check:

Guys Thank you for your replies and help... I checked the hinges and they are not craked, everything appears tight and in place.. I did noticed a gap between the hinges and the trunk lid, I dont know if this is normal.. please take a look at the pics I attached and let me know what you think.. Thanks

Looks like your hinges are starting to take a turn for the worse. The paint cracks because the aluminum flexes farther than the paint can handle and probably more than you realize. The hinges are probably bent which is why there's the gap that you're wondering about. As they bend back and forth when you open and close the trunk (fulcrum moves from the strut top to the bend), the metal will eventually fail. Well this has been my experience in anycase.

Take the struts off and look for any looseness. There should be none and the movement should be smooth. Any binding should lead you to the problem. Good Luck!

I see you’re missing the trunk hinge stoppers (p/n 74826-SL0-000) and it doesn’t look like there are any shims between the trunk hinges and the chassis (p/n 90508-SL0-000). I believe both of those things raise the forward edge of the trunk lid. If the forward edge of your trunk lid is too high without any shims and it’s still too high if even the rubber stoppers have been removed, then it’s something else. Bent hinges, as d.n said? Are all the mounting bolts in place?

LOL happened to me

make sure the 10mm bolts are nice and tight then all 8 of them

close trunk and press down on that side real hard

it will press the trunk back to were it needs to be repeat to perfection.
