You are correct. I had to cool down long enough to post my message, pour myself a double Crown on the rocks, and play with it again. By playing with it I discovered that the deck lid would raise up and I reset the latch with my fingers and it all went back together like it was supposed to.

Thank you for the post, you verified that I did it correctly and didn't screw something else up.

I love this site, it's all about freinds helping friends.
