The latch assembly has been modified on 3400 to keep deck lid centered when closing and while closed.

Folks,
1972 L with original "fat" rear deck lid struts. Car has that huge
after market wing on deck lid (ugh) Not concerned with deck lid not
staying open as I installed a "prop" rod. What I am concerned with is
the side to side "movement" in the deck lid which is chipping the paint
on the rear corners of the car!! I recall someone mentioning they
installed "pins" that align the deck lid by the pins dropping down into
holes drilled in rear of car.
What are recommended solutions to this age old problem?
Thank you in advance for your always ingenious feedback!!
