It's not an aluminum trunk lid versus the old one being steel, is it?
I can't imagine anything else making a difference.

One of the trunk lid springs on the 450SLC was not working (one end was not

You guys are on the right track... its been a while since I've looked at a
W126 trunk lid in detail, but on W123s and other cars the springs had a few
postions they could be placed. Euro cars with the heavy warning triangle
had their springs in a different position than US cars, for example.
