1968 Trunk lid fit

[dalorzo_f]

Noticed that the sides of the trunk lid bow up slightly along each side. The gutter/rear 1/4 line is about 1/4"-3/8" lower near the mid point of the trunk.

Wondering if this is normal or if the lid may be bowing with age...

Mine have bowed up as long as I can remember.

Mine does the same thing on the drivers side. When it rains, I have to run a small piece of vacume tubing inside my regular trunk seal to keep the rain from running over into the trunk area. It's the nature of the beast. I haven't seen a true CS or Shelby yet that doesn't have that problem. A friend of mine with a 69 shelby has that problem with his hood on both sides.
