Installing a lock in a Capri Hatch

I found lots of threads on the Internet about how to remove the lock from the rear hatch on a Mustang or Capri, but nothing about how to put a lock in.


After spending about 10 minutes trying to get the silly rod from the lock into the hatch release mechanism I gave up and prepared to remove the latch. Of course the first two bolts I removed released a small plate that gave me access to the silly rod. 5 seconds later the lock was installed.


Pictures for someone else who is also frustrated about how to put a new lock into the rear hatch



The latch you need to insert the metal rod into is here in the center:
