Glad it worked for you.... eventually!!
Btw, you should pat yourself on the back & do a bit of cavorting around in glee!! You must be one of the few who've ever managed to recover ANYTHING from one of those black holes - for most, they are a true black hole, once anything has passed the event horizon it is forever lost!!

After finally finding and looking at a youtube video, it was apparent I was not looking at all the same screws all of you were describing. In a few minutes I had the backrest off and was looking at how to drill the new hole. NOTE to me.......NEVER do this kind of thing without covering up every possible place a small part (like the ball stud) could go hide - even when you think it just couldn't happen !!
After fishing for almost an hour I got the ball stud back from hiding (luckily in a solid "pocket" under the seat - just hard to get to with tools). Wrapped duct tape with sticky side out around my finger and after a few tries, finally it stuck and I pulled it out.
The rest is just routine stuff. Drilled the hole....made sure I covered all possible places anything could again fall...put the parts and backrest all in place....and it works as advertised and holds the rear compartment cover up very well! Nuff said ->))
THANKS AGAIN !!
Was wondering if a picture of what you were looking at would have been a help to others?

What was the result?
Teninospyder: What was the result? By this I mean when you now release the lock on the topcase, how much does it open due to your movement of the shock anchor? With my stock position, when I open mine it opens perhaps only 1/4 inch or so. Does yours now open an inch or more?
