Trunk is unaligned

[JFunk]

I have about 3 months or so with my car and i bought it as a rebuilt title car. I understand that once a car is involved in some sort of accident (mine being on the passenger side rear fender area) the frame will never be the same again. Now with that being said ive always noticed my trunk being lifted up more by the driver side but never really bothered me until now. I want to realign the trunk but trying to avoid taking it to a shop if i 100% need to then i gladly will any instructions on doing this?

Loosen bolts, play around tighten up. There is very little room for adjustment.

Which bolts, the ones connecting to the trunk or the one connecting to the actual car frame

The trunk, I played with them on both sides (top and bottom) of the bracket till I was happy.

I'm not looking in my trunk at the moment but I would look if a few washers between the body and the trunk support where the trunk support mounts to the body. Obviously only on the left side. That might bring the trunk lower on the left side.

I had to do both to fix mine but just start with the left side. It can be a real pain in the ass though just so you know. You fix it in one direction then another looks like its out of place to has a large gap lol

These bolts are on very tight this wont be an easy job to loosen these up

Sorry, my bad. I wasn't looking at my trunk. I was thinking that the arms went into the trunk. First car I've owned that didn't.

Assuming just have to release the little arm by pulling on it or is there another way?

There's a clip on the dampers. Pry the clip off slightly and pull on the damper away from the bolt. It pops right off.

^ That

and I had a thought cuz there is not much room for adjustment you might need to bore out the holes a little for some more play if you want to get that involved with fixing it
