Spring Preload Adjustment

Thanks 2.7Racer.

My car is a bare metal restoration completed about 2 years ago. The entire latch and striker mechanisms appear new. In looking at the latch pin / spring it appears the depth and / or position of the pin are adjustable. But I don't see a separate means of adjusting the spring preload short of putting a washer (shim) underneath. Is that what you're suggesting or is there another way to adjust that I'm missing? Maybe I should try replacing the spring??

Sorry to be such a 'weenie' about this, but I have visions of closing the lid not being able to open it without taking some rather drastic measures.....

Best Regards,
Bob
