Trunk lid open after install. Opens more than 90 degrees.

Lower bracket holding NAPA ball stud. No alterations needed.

The finished product. Still needs a good cleaning.

Used a rotozip with metal cutoff disk to trim the SPD stud. Went all the way to the nut which I needed to for proper fitment. Ended up taking off around a quarter inch.
SPD ball studs will work but will require bracket and stud alteration.

Thanks for the pix and info.
