Section 01-14: Handles, Locks, Latches and Mechanisms | 1993 Mustang Workshop Manual |
Except Hatchback
The striker can be adjusted up and down and the latch can be adjusted
from side-to-side. Before adjusting the deck lid make sure that the deck lid is
properly aligned. To adjust the latch, loosen the retaining screws, move the
latch as required to enter the striker without deflecting the deck lid
sideways, and tighten the retaining bolts to 9-14 Nm (7-10
lb-ft). Move the striker plate up or down as necessary to provide proper deck
lid seal between the deck lid and the lower back panel.
