Trunk Latch Issue: Where does the spring go?

[P1054]

Erik, I can tell you that I managed to get mine epoxyed back together and it's holding up fine now. I never did figure out where that spring was supposed to go, but everything functions fine (remote trunk opening, trunk opening from button by driver's seat, trunk opening from trunk handle, trunk opening with the key, locking of the trunk, etc). So unless someone comes up with where the spring goes, I'll just leave it out.

Awesome, thanks for the update! Going to try finding a solution that doesn't involve milling a new part out of a solid block of 440T. I'm not at all confident in Epoxied plastic, especially on a stress joint like this one.
