The car had a metal trunk in the rear. I decided to upgrade to a nicer looking wood box. Ordered a curved back black one from Snyders and mounted it yesterday. Here's the question.....when i open the lid, I can't open it far enough for the lid stay to hold the lid up. The lid hits the car body before the lid stay can lock and hold the lid up/open. Is this normal? I don't see any way to adjust the mounting brackets. (See pic) Thanks for any input/guidance.

Put a small block of wood (maybe 1/2' thick or 1' thick) running across the back side under the trunk. It'll tilt it outward just slightly and you will be able to open the lid. I have had 3 different trunks on my sedan and this is what I have had to do with all 3.
