Yes tape would be easier, right now they are plugged with silicone and rubber tape. But if these holes are critical to prevent rust in the trunk lid then I need to figure a way to keep them open. Also there are holes in the trunk lid near the front just below the back windshield, I'll show these in the pics. It's almost as if Mopar designed the trunk lid to take air (and water if it's raining) into the front of the trunk as you go down the road and this way the air could flow through the lid. But with the large factory openings on the inside of the lid there really wouldn't be any flow-through. Pics to follow.
