I’ve noticed the back driver side corner of my decklid is hiked up slightly above the rear quarter panel. The passenger side is just fine and the sides and front and back all appear squared up it’s just this corner that is raised. I’ve adjusted the rubber stoppers and it’s not those so just wanted to know if anyone had a quick solution? Here’s a picture (it is more pronounced in person) Corner

Try loosening the nuts/bolts on the passenger side decklid hinge, as it is raised up, it could push the rear DS corner down.

As guru suggested.....

Remove the decklid grills and close the decklid, all four of the adjusting bolts on the decklid and the four adjusting nuts on the hingeboxes are then easily accessible.

The grille brackets on the upper strut mounts are also adjustable.

Can you push down on the decklid at that corner to make it flush with the 1/4? If the decklid is square in the opening & flush at the back of the 1/4 panels, you probably just need to adjust the latch to pull it down a little tighter.

Its a good idea to also adjust the rubber bumpers at the corners of the deck lid. They screw in and out and most often they are broken or worn. Their purpose is to set the final height of the deck against the rear fender and to insure that the lid pops open after the key is turned or latch release is activated. The Fiero Store sells new ones and they are inexpensive. .
