There are myriad latch-limiters and other such factory devices, and the 
deck lid still moves and paint still chips; some more than others. My "fix" is 
to contact-cement two rubber patches- one in each corner, and let the sucker 
shake. I cut up a bicycle inner tube for chip-limiter patches on one 
Pantera, and our '72 uses water-bed patches (now going on 18 yrs old). About 
1-1/4" square is all thats needed. And they come off with a jack-knife or a heat 
gun with no damage. Good luck, Art- J Deryke
