Brett,
If by trunk lid bumpers, you mean the rubber "dots"--they press into the holes
in the shroud at the lower sill of the trunk opening just aft of the inner lip
of the trunk opening. these bumpers support the outboard edge or flange at the
aft end of the trunk lid. Since the trunk seal is glued to the perimeter of
the trunk lid inboard of that flange or "edge", the bumpers or dots do not,
should not, interfere or come in contact with each other. Do not cut the trunk
lid seal.
Caution, I know that when I was sourcing trunk lid seals, I got a couple where
the thickness was wrong and the lid would not seat properly. I am not familiar
with the one provided by Moss. Maybe someone can confirm that theirs fits
correctly?

  Hi,



  In my Moss Motors rubber kit, I have a trunk seal and trunk lid bumpers.
  The seal would cover the trunk bumper holes.



  How do these go together?  Do I just cut out an area in the trunk seal
  around the trunk lid bumpers?



  Thanks
