Here are some photos of the hinge itself. It's very simple yet effective. I tried many forms of exotic hinges from all sorts of cars like the Lotus Exige, and other types, but this ht wasn't ever designed with a hinge in mind so none of them would work. The idea for a thin yet flexible hinge came to me one day so I tried it out and it's worked great so far. This is my first prototype. I am making a longer one which will allow for more stability when I get back into town (on vacation at the moment).

Wow really nice now those who would be turned away from this ht due to the work of taking it apart to open the trunk can see this option
