Trunk Latch Adjustment

If your trunk fails to latch when you close it, it could be the receiver. Mine got pushed down somehow, causing a temporarily inexplicably-non-latching trunk when I got my 850 back from u-Haul. (I had them install a trailer hitch.)

Hmm.

After some investigation, I adjusted the receiver loop up (star bolts) and it was once again normal. You have to remove the plastic trim to get to the bolts, but this is trivial.

    I’m having the same problem with the trunk latch on my 95 940. How did you get the receiver back into the proper position? Did you do it yourself or did it require service?

    Thanks for the info.
