The rear ends of the springs appear to be "butted up" against forward ends
of lid lever arms. Gonna try to find some lit. on 'em.

You guys are on the right track... its been a while since I've looked at a

had their springs in a different position than US cars, for example. Take

One of the trunk lid springs on the 450SLC was not working (one end was not
in it's slot), and it would almost, but not quite, hold the lid open.

It's not an aluminum trunk lid versus the old one being steel, is it?
I can't imagine anything else making a difference.
