so that explains why I can't find it!  Thanks!!    Then the one hinge has no tension?  Just floppn'? Hm.      and  Is there a bushing for the square plastic guide?  The one I have has a hole that's kinda big.     

Thanks.  R/T

Challenger trunk lids are larger/heavier and this may be why there are two. I have a 71 Barracuda, has one bar, have the sister car to it in a Challenger, only around 70 numbers different on the vin and it has two bars.  :popcorn:
