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.

Nic.
