    So pretty much this mod isnt all that functional if you are actually using your trunk huh. Good for people with full systems back there that done ever use their trunk except to show it.

    yeah I hardly flip it anyways. But its nice to have. It is like a normal trunk as long as the bolt is tightened.

    seems like you could install a pair of those bold action door lock things (on on each side) to alieaviate the need to add and remove the bolt each time.
