RT622 Lids and adjustment - any easy way to adj the front lid?

[Fireball1800]

Anyone know of an easy way to adjust the front lid on a rt622? Previous owner had the removed the lids to paint the trailer. sort of got them back on but huge gap was between front and rear lid. Attempted to adjust the front and got it almost perfect as far as the panels fitting the gap .. having trouble with the front latch.. used paper for pressure template to get the pin located, adjusted but just can't seem to get the lid to smoothly open and close. Anyone have special tricks?

1. Lots of lube in the latch. Slather in wd40, then dust with powder. Close lid. The powder will scrape off where it is not aligned. Now loosen the hinge bolts, adjust, repeat.
2. Once it is positioned properly, clean and lube. Tighten bolts.
3. Do the other lid the same way. Takes a bit of time, but well worth it! Joe
