***edit***removal of one of the trunk struts is practically as must-do addition to the strap mod. See video by krazieboy on post #51. Makes closing the trunk effortless.

Ha! Yea, its takes a fine touch. I actually have never really used it yet, just a couple practice closings after the install.

Thanks! It was driving me nuts having to put greasy hand prints on the trunk lid. OCD :crazy:

Not a bad idea, finally keep all my fingerprints off my trunk panel.

:shrug:

I never touch my panel when closing my trunk. I reach on top of my Spoiler/trunk lid and close from there.

I can't believe Ford didn't put a handle in the trunk for this. I like the strap but a handle would be better. Maybe something from a junkyard that can be screwed on would look like it belonged.

This isn't my video, but I had a 8th gen accord with a trunk handle and loved it. No idea why they removed it for the 9th gen but this video shows how to install it. Maybe even something like this would work for our cars?
