Rip a piece of duct tape in half down the middle about 6 inches long and wrap it around the trunk stud. repeat until the trunk latches firmly. usually just one or 2 pieces. I run mine like this on every stang I own. all that goes wrong with the trunk strikes is that little piece of plastic breaks off. Depending on how often you open your hatch, you may have to replace or add more tape every few months

i used electrical tape but wore out fast. i was looking at the earlier hatch striker why doesn't that one work and also saw the 91 -93 one was different you can just change the bushing but i cant seem to find it or is it thesame as a door one?

Ichecked that sizes on the mustang unlimited site and they appear to be the same they say 7/16 x 1.I have a 86 parts car i'm going to check that one to see if it works if so it's only like $18 but the 91-93 is the ideal one to use if the striker bushings are the same.Those bushings are like $2.50
