Is there anywhere to get a template for this or proper measurements? Just want to make sure its installed correctly. Thanks!

As for locating it on the decklid, I've never done it before, but I'd suggest measuring the distance between the rear outboard studs on the rack and checking to make sure it is the same as the distance between the center of the cutouts on the underside of the trunk lid.

As long as it's the same (I think it should be), drill your first two holes in the center of those cutouts.

Then, with some masking tape on your trunk lid to protect the paint, position the luggage rack on the trunk lid. Take some measurements to double check that it's centered where you want it. Now you can use it to mark on the tape, where the other four holes for the rivnuts need to be.

Are those rivnuts the same as the ones used for side mirrors? I think they are.

How are those holes suposed to be sealed so that water doesn't leak into your trunk? Perhaps some kind of sealer on the rivnuts when they are installed?

The rivnuts otherwise known as nutserts are the same "T" design but instead of 10-24 they are 1/4-20..

Check the diagram again carefully. You should be 4" from the back edge, with the back legs...

After reading the last two posts, I believe you guys are right. Everyone was looking at the diagram correctly, but I had my semantics wrong. As I'm standing at the back of the car, I was calling the edge where the decklid hinges as the back edge. But it's towards the front of the car, so yes, it is actually the front edge. Sorry guys...

Wow, Hey Thanks! That will be a nice addition to my collection. I've gotten some other really nice info from Allen (318 Stroker) in the past also.

Hi Allen, Thanks to you to!


I'm in Florida between Daytona and Orlando. You must be up by Fernandina Beach or Yulee?

before you drill, have a look at the bottom side of the trunk lid. I believe there are cutouts on the underside to access most of the holes. You can use this as a clue to see if you're in the right spot.
