2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Heres the final version.
I drilled holes through the liner into the V Frame. The stud pushes through and the screw tightens the fitting into the frame behind. There are 2 studs at the top and 2 at the bottom.
Be very careful not to press too hard and drill through the trunk lid
Its now fixed on "as tight a a tight thing"
The wife's embroidered emblem is going slowly

P.S. wonder if Cowboy will now start using your method of securing the trunk lid cover as you have done
