How do I reinstall the trunk latch cover on my '64 cuda?

Do your really think the people at the factory were so dumb as to put a hood latch in the trunk, 66Dvert?
1) all parts in my trunk are factory installed, no changes
2) would the factory workers put a hood latch in place of the trunk latch?
3) if #2 were true, why did the trunk close & latch since it was bought in 1964, & why does it still work?
You are the one who won't listen (& listen is the wrong word from you, too, since we are writing) or maybe you can't understand 1, 2, 3. If it's not clear to you, there's nothing more I can do. I wrote the truth, facts... Good bye. pete
