Summary
SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A GRINDING TYPE NOISE (C) FROM THE TRUNK LID HINGE (A) (ONE OR BOTH SIDES) WHEN OPEN-ING AND/OR CLOSING THE TRUNK LID. THE NOISE MAY BE CAUSED BY THE TRUNK LID HINGE COVER (A) MAKING CONTACT WITH THE TRUNK SIDE TRIM (B).DUE TO ASSEMBLY VARIATIONS, THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TRUNK LID HINGE COVER AND THE TRUNK SIDE TRIM IS TOO SMALL AND MAY CAUSE FRICTION NOISE WHEN CONTACTING EACH OTHER. THE SHAPE OF THE TRUNK LID HINGE COVER HAS BEEN CHANGED TO ENSURE THE APPROPRIATE CLEARANCE.
