is the trunk lid height adjustable?
I'm looking to buy an svx and i went and looked at one today. while i was doing a walk around checking it out i noticed that the driver side of the hatch was not flush, it was higher than the passanger side. so basically is somthing bent or can it be adjusted?

I would assume you are referring to the trunk lid. I too would like to know an answer to this because mine is the opposite. (The passenger side sticks up a bit at the frontmost part)

i don't know if this is common or not, but on mine, the rear wiper arm tends to sag below where it should sit a bit while the trunk is open. i've almost closed the tip of it (which is on the drivers' side) in the trunk two or three times. if it was ever closed on the wiper arm, i guess that could conceivably stress the hinge enough to leave that side of the trunk lid slightly higher...?

yes it is adjustable all body parts are.... just takes a little hammering... there could be bolts that you can loosen and slide around but im not sure eather way i would take it to a body shop they shouldnt charge to much for this one

If I were checking-out an SVX and noticed misaligned body panels I'd sure look closely to rule-out collision damage. In the case of the trunk, at the least it's a safe bet somebody tried to slam the lid on an oversized load.

The trunklid is fiberglass/SMC. It does not bend permanently.
Though trying to shut it on a oversize load could tweak the hinges and/or latch. Get a couple of body shims and you'll have it all good in no time.
