I wouldn't like to try it on anything thicker though like a boot lid which needs bent up on both ends.......but I'm thinking about it.

Hi Colin.
Do you have gas rams fitted to your boot lid?
If so these will try to distort the boot lid (Even more so if a boot rubber is not fitted)
The way to get the lid back up to height in the two top corners is to tuck some electrical cable (Or small dia. rubber hose) into the seal strip )A few spots of super glue should fold it in place.) this will make it sturdier in those corners and stop the lid from over compressing it.:thumb:
