Default Boot lid gubbins

Think this is interior.....

Tried to search and found nothing on this, so looking for a bit of advice.

This week I will be swapping my boot lid, and obviously will need to change over the locking mechanism so my key still works.

Looking at it las night it seems very cramped and awkward to do.

Any hints and tips will be greatly appreciated.

It's not as hard as you think. Just a bit of a faff getting the backing/locking plate thingy back in place correctly.

Done but not done.....

Holes are different on the two boot lids, so my square lock will not fit in the round hole...

Tempted to just open the hole out with the dremmel........
