The only problem I can see with the idea of welding the hinge in place to the roof after alignment is that I clearly see the need to stuff about 4mm worth of shims in there to align the deck lid to the car top. I suppose I could weld shim(s) in place too..
OR I might go ahead and make up a plate that is both shim and threaded hole and same shape as the hinge plate itself..and weld both to each other and to the roof.
