So, I eventually want to install trunk struts since I'll be using a popper instead of the manual handle for the trunk. My question is, since I already set up my trunk when I aligned the body and doors, way back when, is there a difference in the dimensions of the new hinge as opposed to the MK4 curved hinge. Specifically, is there a difference from the pivot point on the hinge to the slotted adjustment area. If someone could provide a measurement from the center of the pivot to the end of the slot closest to the pivot it would be a big help. I don't want to have to relocate the bracket for the trunk mount since I don't remember how much metal I have to anchor to inside the trunk. Man, I hope that made sense! Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure they are the same. I have replaced them on a finished car with no adjustment problems.

Thanks Mike. I was looking at a picture of the new hinge, and it appeared to be larger than the ones that I have. That answers the question, and makes this easy.
