Good luck with the T/locking handle on a CR's. License plate will not allow room for the handle, symmetrically anyway. How ever, a thought.... drop the handle all the way down to the "splash pan/rear panel under the lic. plate, below the trunk lid. Install up side down so the latch is pointing up. Cut a slot in the floor, mount a steel tube onto the fiberglass where the latch hook will catch it when turned-lock. Wish I would have thought of that 20 years ago
