Bear in mind that the boot lid has a slight curve to it and that often when they have been stored their shape can be bent a bit out of whack - so don't put all of your trust in that shape.

I have no wish to start a heated debate over the best way to do this job - but for the record - the other ways described in this thread are more likely to need a lot more body filler once the main shape has been yanked back!

Oh yes - don't underestimate how rusty those spare wheel wells can get.
