        Guilty... However yer honor I have extenuating circumstances...
        My `4 ws so badly rusted that I had to rebody it with a tub from 
        a defunct `4A. 

        I retained the 4A's bootlid frame because the original prop rod had
        been broken off and gone missing before I got the car...

        As to your question... CT4852L originally had the non-sliding bootlid
        prop
