I have the internal hinge supplied by Tribute. I think it is very easy to fit and shouldn't give any stress cracks in future.
Before adjusting the boot too much, fit whatever boot seal. I adjusted my boot, then changed the boot seal and had to start all over again.
I had to put a slice in the rib underneath to try and bring the trailing edge of the boot lid in. It didn't work too well so I had to resort to building the main body tub out about 5mm at the boot catch and and taper it out towards the edges. The curvature of the boot took quite a bit of sanding to get it level with the main tub as well.
Using the internal hinge you have to remember that the main tub can be positioned ever so slightly differently each time you remove it. This changes how the boot sits. I stand back and look at the line of the wing where it sits over each rear tyre.
