and she held the door for me to take the deck lid into the house and bedroom as well as getting it back out. If you get black stuff on anything, this privilege goes out the door in a...

for my 1960, I bought the black 3M weatherstrip adhesive, 08008 and used it.
1. take some paint masking tape (I use the green stuff) and outlined where the brackets mate up to the deck lid so that when I go to put the deck lid back on I get in in the right place.
