Default Trunk hinge question

What is the procedure installing trunk hinge assembly on a 58. Do we have to cut glass?
Thanks for the help

There are 4 rivets on top (two in the trunk drip rail, and two in the deck lid drip rail. there are 4 1/4" X 20 nut/bolt assemblies going through the lower part of the hinge. There is a left and a right. No cutting necessary.

Put the top in first and then just push the bottom into place. You'll think that you are going to break the upper fiberglass when you do this but you'll be ok. Just keep pushing until it goes in place.
