Is there any adjustment available where the rumble seat lid hinges to the body?

Mine is almost 1/2" too high at the left lower corner when closed, and nearly that on the right lower corner.

With the liner board tacked in place, I can't see the hinge mountings, and I can't loosen the hinge pivot bolts with the screw slots. Although not rusty, they're very tight. There appears to be a large nut on the hinge shaft outboard end, but I can't get a wrench in there.

The wood framing of the lid and the attachment of the hinges to it look like brand new. There is some adjustment at that point, but I don't think it would lower the rear of the lid when in the closed position. It looks like a fore and aft adjustment.

The tacks holding the liner panels are very firmly bedded in the wood,and I haven't had any luck removing them without damaging the liner board.
