Reply to "Engine Compartment Lid Shocks"

As for removing the decklid for service that is not a bad idea.

To avoid the extreme hassle, and danger of chipping paint, of returning the decklid to its original position, the best method I have found is to carefully drive out the two hinge pins rather than undoing any of the hinge mounting screws.

If for some reason that cannot be done the second approach would be to drill two or three small 1/16 inch holes through a hinge plate mount and into the underlying sheet metal. Those holes can then serve as accurate relocating guides during reinstallation.
