Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on the adjustment of the Flairbird convertible trunk. Currently one corner ( passenger side) is raised slightly compared to drivers side. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
Thanks

The bolts on my 63 were stripped so they wouldn’t hold adjustments. I think ‘64 are similar. Vertical adjustment is by hinges side lid 2 bolts, one accessible through a hole

Is it the front corner or the rear corner?
The rear is adjustable at the hinge. You have to remove the tail light and trim to get to the hinge bolts. (Through a triangular hole in bumper mount).
If it’s the front, the “screws” on the deck lid are adjustable with shims, and the “ratcheting holes” are adjustable by loosening the lock nut on the bottom, and turning the housing clockwise for down or CCW for up.
