1956 Oldsmobile Question

Could someone please take a picture of the trailing edge of their trunk lid and show me what goes here? I can see I can order the rubber bumpers, but what other hardware is involved?

Just going from memory, I believe it is a guide post, so the trunk lid doesn't move around once it's latched.

The guide post has holes for screws, not studs. These set of studs are on both the drivers and passengers side. I know they are for these parts here:

I must be missing the rubber and have them on backwards.
Thanks Frank!

You're welcome, Rick. After looking at the pictures I took, I think it's time I replaced the weatherstripping after 67 years
