49 Trunk Lid - High on one side
Ok, the front of the trunk lid (towards the back seat) on the drivers side is about 1/2" to 3/4" higher that the pass. side. I can push down on it, but it just springs back up. I have seen two other step downs that have the exact same issue and was trying to determine if this is due to a bad hinge, or if I should give it the old body man's trick and use some 2 x 4's to "adjust" the lid itself. It would appear that over time it might have just twisted or perhaps someone closed the trunk on something and pushed it up.
Before I go ahead and start adjusting, can someone tell me if there is a common hinge problem that I should be aware of??? I would have just gone ahead and done it already, but I just think it is weird that I have seen two other cars that have the exact same issue.
Thanks
