Just before taking the car to the paint and body guy I went ahead and replaced the TRE's. After installation I followed recommendations from info gathered on this site as to how to adjust them. Tighten screw till it bottoms out and then back off half a turn, replace pin, done! Well that is super easy. Problem was when I screwed the end in it went way passed the holes in which the cotter pin goes thru and still didn't bottom out. I saw no point in going any further as putting in a cotter pin would do no good as the slot was well beyond it doing any good. It's almost as if parts are missing like the seats. Anyhow, as I mentioned the car is now at the paint shop, finally after waiting a year, so the car is not in my possession to do any real time diagnoses but I wanted to get the ball rolling if anybody had thoughts on this problem so I could deal with it when I get the car back.
