trunk latch

[GoMangoBoys]

I am trying to attachthe trunk latch to the deck lid.  Which direction does it go?  There is a lip that turns up and a lip that turns down.  I understand that down and Up are relative, so can someone show me a correct picture of it on the deck lid?

Doesn't it fit either way ?

I am pretty sure that it DOES fit eitehr way.  I am assumin that only one way is actually right though.

Scroll through the pictures in this thread, you can see the up/down lips. Reply #22 looks the best.

The picture John referred to is the most common way for sure, but don't be surprised if more research turns up with some mounted the other way...You know this hobby..."never say never"...

The flip on mine is towards the edge of the trunk as in the photo. I cant garuentee that is how it's supposed to be, but I suspect that is correct. At least I'm 50% sure
