quote:at some point some "dick" put hood locks on the rear deck lid. Someone filled the holes in the top of the deck lid but the posts from the locks are still there and stick into the underside of the deck lid when it's closed. I couldn't tell if the holes were metal filled, or bondo'ed.
This is most likely not from hood locks. It's a common upgrade to keep the rear of the decklid properly positioned so it doesn't slam back and forth between the fenders chipping the paint when going over bumps or in and out of driveways. Short hood lock pins are installed and only the bottom side of the decklid frame structure is drilled. If these were actually hood locks that went all the way through the rear decklid, there will be visible evidence from the underside through the hole that the exterior sheet metal was repaired (welded and/or filled).
