Re: Trunk lid tension rods.
Well, I was a bit skeptical. So I went out to the garage and measured mine (off the car). Sure enough one is .225" and the other is .271", that is if I can still read a non digital micrometer. Also lots of black paint, but only on one side of each, telling me the car was painted with these installed. I knew the trunk lid was installed when painted because the bolts were painted over and this car has never been painted. I realize this is just a bit off topic, but I assume the trunk latch had to be in place as well. After they painted the underside of the deck lid, I am assuming the trunk lid was shut without any weatherstrip in place. Is this correct?
