Thanks so much for posting this! You saved me from making a potentially much more expensive mistake, and this was significantly easier/safer than another instruction video that I watched.
Everything about this video was outstanding -- including the removal of that awful aftermarket deck lid. Well done.

Best description I seen yet, others say to pry 'gently' against deck lid, being careful not to dent/scratch it. Your way is safer and 100% foolproof.

Just a FYI you do NOT need to remove the trunk release handle, it will slide through the opening in the liner. Also the latch cover does NOT need to be removed, you can slide the liner to the side and if you rotate it, it will side out and around the latch cover. (remove the plastic trim retainer pins first). I've done this a few times when I installed my spoiler.

Are there any tricks you can advise on if you were wanting to drill new holes in your Ford performance replacement deck lid to accept the studs on a new emblem? I’m assuming it’s prepped in the back just not drilled out.
@mcgurrentertainment

Just take your time, use masking tape in the drilling area, and start with a small drill bit size to prevent cracking.

Removing the trunk is easy. 4 nuts (10mm wrench) and disconnect the reverse camera. I had to remove it once when I dropped a screw down it.
No need to remove the carpet cover to unplug camera. Once you take out the 4 bolts and pop the clips along the top the panel the camera plug has just enough length to squeeze it to disconnect it.

Based on some research, its looks possible (I’m not 100% sure). The Deck Lid used in the video is a Ford Performance Deck Lid Trim Panel (M-16600-MA) and based on several suppliers, it fits all 2015-2022 Mustang Models (including Shelby). Looking at Ford Parts suppliers, it seems the Factory Deck Lids also share the same part number with different prefixes and suffixes (E.g JR3Z-6342528-AG vs. KR3Z-6342528-BC); it seems the suffix letters are the emblem type (I.e. GT, Pony, Shelby). This leaves me to believe the factory uses the same mold for all Deck Lid trims and they install the specific emblem/badge based on the production order. So based on the quick google search, it looks possible. You may need to email Ford to be formally assured.

@@mcgurrentertainment THANKS mate! It says from the Ford parts website, that the GT350 deck lid trim panel only fits shelby mustang. I thought its because of the emblem but cant be sure. Your info does help! appreciated.
Before and after, when the boot closes the panel isn't aligned with the driver side tail light at the bottom. Same on my 2017 GT, I tried adjusting the whole lid and couldn't get it aligned without the top becoming misaligned. Any ideas to fix? Could it be the tail light itself is recessed or the trunk is just not pressed correctly and its time to get hammering?

Tough call, it's difficult to determine without looking at it. It very well could be how it's built. I've seen several from the factory look a little off (sadly).

What if the retaining clips are damaged? How do we get new ones?
@mcgurrentertainment
Жыл бұрын
You should be able to order new ones. I believe the part is "Molding Extension Clip - Ford P/N: W701882-S439" (I not 100%, you'll have to verify). If you have one on you, check the measurements and try to order from amazon, such as: amzn.to/3nO2TbU They have several to choose from if you search "Metal Retainer Clips". Hope this helps.

Tough call. 1/4" = 6.35mm it might be too small, but it's worth a shot. I can't confirm off the top of my head.
