First time that I have heard this point of view. That the chassis deflects
into the decklid. I guess the Ford engineers had it wrong when they
devised the new latch configured to reduce side to side movement of the
decklid. Who knew, I guess they didn't.
I have seen owners pin the decklid to the chassis andI believe it has been
an effective approach. as well. That solution is addressing decklid flex.
Still learning about these cars
