So, i've read something about adjusting the trunk of a s13, well my trunk is all not lining up, and i have no clue how to adjust it.

:fruit:

Well both corners of the trunk hang a little too low, and it hands a little bit over the tail garnish, but it still locks.

do you have the little rubber stoppers on the corners of the lid? not having those might make it sit low...
if that's not it, check the bolts on the hinges. there's not much play there but i can't think if anything else, besides you just having a deformed hatch

take some pics maybe

It's not a hatch dude, it's a coupe.

perhaps you should say its a coupe in your original post, an s13 is a coupe AND a hatch.

try messing around with mounting pints on the trunk hinges, a bolt probably loosened up a bit and it moved forward some.

take the hinges of the trunk off completely and inspect them for damage.
it might be that the previous owner had a collision...

if damage is apparent just go to a junk yard and cop one for like $5.

its like liquid metal stuff, body shops use it nowadays to attach panels without welding, they even use it on new cars...I need to replace the bottom of my rockerpanels and i wanna use it....its impervious to oil, paint, water, heat, when dry, you can paint it, um.....the closest thing to it i found was likr $50 today.. When its dry its hard as metal but slightly flexible, its like a glue

any ideas? I need a specefic product to go look for.
