I think the whole reason for multiple versions of the deck lid latch was to
attempt to keep the big lid from shaking sideways on rough roads and
chipping
the paint off the lid edges. Rather than try to control the big, heavy lid,
I
took another tack and simply added two 1" square bicycle tire patches to the
outside vertical edges of the rear water channels. With those edges padded
by
1/8" of rubber, the lid can shake all it wants and no paint chips. Give this
a
try- ours have been on the car since '91 without lid damage.
FWIW- J DeRyke
