Finally got replacements after 4 months, lol...the frame is still warped but at least it fits with the latch installed.
Now that I'm getting around to fitting it, I'm not sure how far to keep working the fitment. I rough fit the trunk lid and have been fitting the caps to the lid. I'm having trouble finding good reference pics online, ie where I should stop. Should the end caps follow the curve of the lid or flow around like I ended up with (they started to naturally fit that way)? Should the trunk lid be slid further forward? I have way to much flange at the bottom of the caps, the bumper doesn't fit at all. I either need to cut and reglass them or grind down the edges so the caps bottom rotate into the car while the tip of the fin rolls out?
Thoughts, references, experience, etc. are all appreciated! I'm more comfortable working with glass than sheet metal, so I can make any changes required. Pics of where I ended up attached:
