Is Anyone Else Having A Problem With Their Trunk Lid Scratching Their Rear Bumper On Their Chargers? I Have A Daytona And I Just Sent It Back To The Dealer To Have The Trunk Lid Adjusted And The Bumper Repainted.

If I recall correctly, there's a whole thread on this. Might be in the general section. Try a search, otherwise someone may be able to come up with a direct link to it....and a quick search on general forum for trunk bumper yielded the link

I rented a Charger this past week & saw the same problem.

Magnums have a similar problem with the lift gate.

Took mine to the dealer a few days ago. Then to the body shop. I believe they simply placed a spacer under the passenger side rubber gromet. Problem gone.

I will say this...my trunk doesnt seal right and leaks when at the car wash (relax its touchless!!!)

I just had my 3000 mile service and had the dealership look at these scratches.They came to the conclusion that the trunk shocks on my R/T are not the same as the Daytonas' they had on the lot.Apparently the Daytona trunk shocks are stronger than mine, so when I had a spoiler put on, I should have replaced the shocks also. Here is the Part number they gave for the Daytona shocks:4814200AF-$19.00 each.Any other Daytona owners have this problem, and if you do are your shock part numbers the same as above? I don't want to have to replace the parts if they are not the cause of the problem.Will somebody please post pics of the location of the added washers to fix this problem? Thanks guys.

I have a Daytona and I have the same problem.... The rubber spacer on the bottom of the trunk lid isn't big enough.

I also have the Daytona and see the same problem. Hmm that sucks!

I have the same issue, when I took it in for the couple other things I had wrong, they buffed it out and then MOVED the trunk lid about 3/16 of an ince to the right (since the mark was on the left). Well its a good thing I have to go back for a new headlight anyway cause that looks awfull, a large gap on the left and a real small one on the right - Jerks!

I think the next time I go in I'll have to speak directly to the mechanic on this one as it seems whoever worked on it this time doesn't understand the issue.

Thats why I love this forum! This thread alerted me of the problem and when I took my RT in for spoiler I told body guy the problem and he put in slightly bigger spacers. Thx Charger forums.com!

My Daytona is a week old and the trunk lid is starting to rub on my bumper! Does anybody know if there is a fix or a TSB on a fix? Thanks Jim

[bashlin]

[knock_out_punch]

I Also Have These Same Scratches On My Charger Rt. Dealer Said I Need A Minor Adjustment On Trunk. ( Free To Fix And Paint)

 

[Bad_24_7]

I still have not seen a pic of where the washers were put to fix this problem.Mine seem to have good clearance when closed, but somehow still got scratches.

Only 500 miles here. I found the marks this weekend. I put felt pads over them to prevent the situation from worsening before I take it back to the dealer. Seems to be ok so far, except for the fact I have little felt pads stuck to my bumper!!!
