Just a quick question for you all who have rear mounted trunks (with no spare tire) on your Town Sedans. I have a 1930 Town Sedan with two side mounts.
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.
