While the rear portion of this LH trunk drop was a little better than the RH was;

This patch was a little more challenging. I was able to find a piece in my scrap pile with a portion of the round raised shape to begin from. Drilled and slotted it out to match the plug then welded it in to the piece of replacement flange (similar to RH side).

Quite a bit of cutting welding and grinding for such a small patch but I wanted to copy the original shape as closely as possible. I was happy with the result. finished from the underside you cannot tell from factory.
