Little confused but I had an AIR fiberglass lid and the latch bolted right in place. No modifications needed. It would work fine with our without struts. Sorry no pics.

No experience, but one thing I'll say is if you prop the lid on one side only some stupid will try to close your lid and it will crack all the paint at the prop rod.

I am using stock lock. Haven't hit the road yet. I wouldn't want to spin. I don't have that much confidence in the stock lock.
