I kept having a rust through problem in my original deck lid, so I purchased a Dynacorn from NPD. The first and second deck lids I received were bent on the corner prior to shipping. After having the manager open a few to find one that was not bent, I finally received one that was straight. I had to grind quite a bit off the upper right corner to make it not rub the body, then we had to weld the corner shut, grind it down, etc. The moral of the story is, they don't fit like the originals. On the flipside, we tried to use our original deck lid by have it sandblasted, replacing metal, etc, but we just couldn't seem to beat a little rust bubble in the corner of it. We fixed it and repainted it twice, but it still came back three years after each repaint. I'm glad we have the new lid and I no longer need to worry about my little bubble, but it was a bit of work to get it to fit. Good luck!
