Strange (FACTORY) Holes in Trunk Lid

Even though you used a flashlight it is very likely there is air flowing around the gasket from angles the light couldn't penetrate.

I agree 100 percent. Thanks for all the help!!! I hadn't though about it but I do have an original '69 Cuda service manual. I hadn't though about looking in there to see if it shows any pics of the trunk seal, but I will???
