HowTo: FlipTop Trunk

this is for those damn ebay scammers tat are trying to make money off of this buahahahahaahha



This is what it will look like if you dono what i'm talking about



FLIP TOP TRUNK


Materials:

- (2) 3-inch latches, regular size latches will work fine, heavy duty ones just make for more work

- (2) triangular hinges like as pictured in the instructions

- (Approx. 15) Tapered head screws (the ones that could be flushed into the hinges)


Before you begin:

- Take the 2 hinges and bend one side at a 90-degree angle (the length to the bend will vary depending on how wide your trunk bracket is)

- Mark all your necessary holes and pre-drill with a small drill bit (note: always start small and work your way bigger or you will have to end up buying super large screws to use on your mess-up)

- Be sure to read and understand attached picture instructions before starting!!!

1. With trunk open, mark the trunk lid at the top of the stock brackets.

2. Remove your trunk lid by unbolting 4 bolts. Do not remove the stock brackets, only the trunk lid.

3. Attach the flat side of the enclosed hinge to trunk lid below the marked. With the bottom of the hinge facing down.

4. You will have to bend hinge.

5. With help reattach trunk lid to stock brackets using curved hinge. Be sure to pre-drill all holes before mounting new hinge. This hinge will create the fold down effect.

6. Connect enclosed latches about 2 inches from the bottom of the trunk lid. Be sure they are mounted on the inside of the stock brackets.

7. Mark a spot on the stock bracket to drill to allow the latches to latch. Be sure the latch will latch tightly. If it doesn't latch tightly you may have to replace the stock bottom bolts each time you want to fold down you trunk lid.
