And another thing!!
Just installed the new one and it doesn't fit the curve of the trunk (boot).
The middle hits well before the ends do.
I didn't even bother to install the middle spring.
Did up the ends with Nylocs threaded 1/2 way on, and still small gaps at each end.
I give it a week.

Edit: I decided instead to do up the middle bolt with the nut 1/2 way on, and put some calk at the ends where it doesn't touch the trunk.
Put the nuts on the ends just barely compressing the springs enough so they don't rattle.
My theory is when the seal heats up in the middle where it has pressure on it, it will compress and pull the whole thing farther in.
