1. Open your upper rear lid
2. You'll see two black things on the left and the right, that's the wedge stop. This wedge stop meets the wedge on the upper lid covering the rear lid gas spring.
3. You can raise the wedge stop by turning the screw in the middle of the wedge counterclockwise. The screw is covered by a rubber buffer. Just pry it out. Don't get the wrong screw. It's the one in the middle of the wedge stop.

I raised it enough to make sure the rear lid doesn't move when the car goes on a bump or uneven road.

Attached is the photo of the wedge stop.
Nice find/fix. Thanks for sharing!
