washers dont work. you need to make a square piece of metal and extend it upwards. theres a few pics on here floating around somewhere

On a corsa b? Can't see how that can raise the back due to the design of the hinge?

Okay. Then hinges are vertical so a washer would push it out. If they were flat a washer would work!
