I'm going to pick up one of those small springs for the trunk and I was curious how to mount it. I noticed that the picture shows only one screw, but do I need to drill a hole for it to go into? I looked where it would mount on the car, and there is a rectangular hole. Can I use that or should I drill a new hole?
It's been a long time since I installed mine, but as I remember the screw is a self taping screw and it makes it's own hole and threads.
You know what? I used double sided tape. It has been in place for at least two years with no problems.

What I did is, I place the spring where I what it to be, (close to the striker) than mark the trunk lid where the hole for the screw is suppose to goes. Then I drilled an hole in the trunk lid, a bit samller than the self-tapping screw I was using. I finally screw it in the trunk lid. Easy job.
