Paint rub question.

[Pintony]

Hello SHO Forum,
My 014 trunk lid is rubbing the bumper cover in the rh & lh corners.
There seems to be plenty of gap.
Why or how could this be happening?
I tried to take photo but could not get a good one.

I noticed the same on mine, I think when you close the lid it hits.

Maybe the bump stop needs to be adjusted?

I do not see any bump stops.

Ok I will put some play dough in that area to see how much it crushes.

How's the overall trunk fit? Any gaps or binding?

Hello Flylow11,
The fitment of the trunk lid is spot on perfect!
I'm Picky! I refused to test drive the first SHO I went to look at because the drivers door was slightly miss aligned.

Ok cool. The build quality on the SHO's seem very good. I was thinking maybe the trunk hinges might have gotten out of alignment.

The hood alignment is 1/16" off and it is driving me crazy....
Thank you for your post.

No worries !!!

So... Are there bump stops on the trunk lid or is the space purely maintained buy the trunk rubber seal?

My 16 has 2 bump stops. 1 on each side.

That's a GREAT photo!
Thanks BlueSHO

Thanks again BlueSHO Went out and adjusted the bump stops. That should stop the chafing.
Just turn the bumpers to adjust.
I see a Few Taurus 013-up at night that could use this to even out the taillight alignment.
I never thought to look for the bump stops on the trunk lid itself.

Looked at my 14 and saw a rub mark on the bumper after a fast run. Suspect the spoiler down force is collapsing the rubber seal at speed. Bump stops adjusted too high.

[cfgibmc]

My 2010 had the same problem, bumper stops didn't help much.

2014 SHO NON PP I put door guards on all my doors. the drivers door gap was tighter than the others so I had to remove the door guard. GAP difference there as well
