Trunk Latches

Guest · 2009-05-25T11:25:10Z

I have a CJ side car and am having problems with the trunk not latching on the right side. This unit has slam locks on it and the left one latches ok but you really have to slam it to latch and is to tight in my opinion. The right one won't latch at all. I took the seat out to see what was going on and the right latch is 3/16" from going under the striker. The trunk opening measured diagonally from corner to corner varies by about a 1/4" but the trunk seems to line up fine. The measurements from the floor of the side car to the striker plate are the same on both sides. Is there a way to adjust these or should I try to find a adjustable latch and just replace them?

We painted our 41 Ford,50's style hotrod, with SEM black flexible bumper paint. It gives that nice satin look and it has UV protection as well. We
sprayed it over PPG black DP 90 epoxy primer.
