Unaligned trunk
Ive had my frs for a little over a year, since day one my trunk has been unaligned and drove me anal. Since the car was involved in an accident before i had it i figured it was a bent frame and decided to live with it. Until now i was recently toying with my car outside my home and a neighbor stopped by i told him what im looking for (a bent frame) and he gave me some advice about latches and how maybe my latch is a little over to the right or left seeing how he had the same issue in one of his cars.
Today while trying out his method to fix an unaligned trunk i realized something looked off and the bottom latch looked crooked and i never gave it a thought. But now im thinking its that bottom latch is it suppose to be like this?    yes i realize my bumper is unaligned also slowly getting into these issues since i have way more free time now to take things apart  this picture it looks aligned but thats with the latch taken off the carSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Doesn't anybody just speak plain English anymore .....
 Bubba says to heat it up with a torch, then pound on it with a BFH. Then, if it breaks off, go to a wrecking yard and get another one..... humfrz |

That latch is BBW, BBC, FMF, DSL, and AFU. You know what to do with it.
