If I attach the striker to the back of the frame it will hit the latch arm and trunk lid. If I mount it to the trunkpan in the trunk then the striker has to be really long and will catch on things

Bill,
When you cannot see the amount of clearance between two shutting surfaces, like the hood and air cleaner for example, I always use a ball of Plasticine (modeling clay). If you make one surface slippery, it will adhere to the other and give a clear indication of what's going on. The same solution will show you where the striker aperture needs to be.
