    how to adjust trunk lock

    so my trunk lock broke. i went to open my trunk and it only poped part way so i pulled on it and the metal clip thinger on the lid poped off. after looking at it for like 5 mintues i think i got it put back together right. now here is the problem. it obviously isnt being held down as tight as it should be for 2 reasons:

    1) there is a noticeable gap and it can be pressed down a little further
    2) when my sub is going it makes a nasty rattle sound on the inside and outside of the car that it doesnt normally make that can be eliminated by pressing down on the trunk.

    so how do i go about adjusting it? i tried just tightening the bolt on the retension mechanism thinger on the lid but that didnt help.

    Per this board, since you only have a 318i, you should really get rid of this car and get an M20 or better.

              Just tighten down the bolt on the Metal hook thing and it will draw the lid tighter.
