If the car has already been painted then you have a difficult task.
Adjustments/ test fits should be made during bodywork. The seal will probably
just make the miss fit even worse. If it isn't too bad then you might just
have to live with it. Most boot lids on Healeys have a fit that is much less
then perfect. Shifting the holes a bit can give you some side to side fit.
Being high in the middle sounds like bodywork.

We are fitting the boot lid on my BT7. It seems to be sitting a bit high
between the hinges, and we have not yet installed the seal. Is there any way
to adjust the fit? It also seems to need movement left and right to center
it.
Thanks again,
All four fenders and beads have been fitted. Engine compartment detailing
continues. Running lights installed, and we are just about ready to install
armacord in the boot.
