What rubber parts go on the trunk lid.

I was doing some finishing touches on the truck lid and was wondering if there are any bumpers, etc that attach.

First pic shows some holes,  I don't have any pictures of what may go there.

Second pic shows more holes.  Body plugs go in those holes, I think  :shruggy:

Anybody got any info?

Think there is a rubber bumper that goes on the outside of the 2 holes

Should the bottom hole just be left open so when you open the lid any water condensation drains out ?

I bagged all the old parts I took off and one bag says "body plugs for the front of trunk lid"  and I tried them and they fit.  Just don't have a pic in my archives that show anything.

Anyone got a picture of the underside of the trunk lid??

I will post pics in a day or two, but here is what is on the underside of my XP29N0G trunk lid:

1) the small hole near the forward edge of the trunk lid has a body plug; driver's side and passenger's side.

2) the outer hole, of the two near the aft end of the trunk lid, has a bumper; driver's side and passenger's side.

3) each of the bumpers come in contact with a circular boss/pad when the trunk is closed.

4) the jacking instruction/caution label is on the right side of the trunk lid.

I'd appreciate the pic of the bumper.  I have several that would fit but need to know what's correct.  I just found the plug so that's a done deal.  Thanks again, I knew I could count on someone on this site!

On a related note, I use this stuff to assemble/reassemble rubber and plastic parts:

Only a thin film needs to be used. A little bit goes a long ways.

I actually have something similar to that in my garage.  I used it to lub the contact points between the brake shoes and backing plates on drum brakes.  Good up to 500 degF so braking temps don't degrade it as much.  Now I can try it on rubber parts,  thanks.
