Help with Autoform Roadster

Hey guys I recently bought a 85 iroc that was partially converted into a autoform roadster. Can someone help me out on where to bolt down the rear hatch hinges? I'm not sure exactly on where they go. Wasn't sure if they go directly up to the rear hatch seal Ridge or a little back from that. If anyone with a roadster could take a picture of their bracket in place that would be awesome! Thanks!

My autoform hinges, not a very good design. Hope this helps if you need any more pics just let me know. They are steel plates about the length of the tail lights just behind the weather striping.

Hey thanks, how much room is there under the weather stripping? Like how far is the brackets from that lip? I appreciate you taking the time to take pictures for me.
