Now if I could get my wife to stop closing with the shiny black part all would be good...
I don't know what is with girls not caring at all about cars. Mine does the same thing but also with excessive force. Same for doors. I always try close them for her. But many times I'm not fast enough and door slamage occurs.
My Mom for example closes and opens door by window glass. It leaves fingerprints all over the glass. My girl also puts groceries on the bumper edge and scratches it.

when anyone rides with me I always have to wipe down the door or glass. When I close my door I use one finger on the black molding lol. I’ve tried closing the trunk by using the plastic piece around the trunk latch, I’ve pulled it off sometimes, but it’s better then spending hours trying to polish out that piano black cover to scratch free. I’ve been wanting to add a strap for a while, I don’t feel like you’d have to slam it, just a snappy quick motion to get it to close

Thank you. Please let us know if it works.
Mustang is in Florida and I'm in Maryland so it won't be until next month to attempt the install.
So my BMW M235i has a cupped indentation near the inside top of the trunk, when it is open.
Just reach your fingers in it, grab lightly and pull down to shut the trunk.
Ford really dropped the ball on the Mustang's trunk design!

The Hyundai part works perfect.
Part number for sourcing in Europe is 81792 2B000WK.
Clip is a miscellaneous VW part.
