Help with spring loaded hinge
I am trying to repair the hinge mount on the rear deck lid on my 68 convertible, is the removal of the hinge possible without cutting the body?
Thanks in advance

I have no clue but I might suggest you put the year of 1968 in your title. There are a lot of members who specialize in 68's but might not look at your post because it DOES NOT mention that it is for a '68. Just a thought to get more attention to your problem. Good luck.

Do you have pics incase we need to tackle this. Does it look like you can reassemble it without bloody knuckles or too much swearing?
