At the rear of the TC hood, where the press studs are, is there any trim that holds them in place? Or are the studs/rivets held in directly by the bodywork?

Oh nice one! Are you committing to it?

I think my question is, do the pop/screw rivets bolt directly to the body work or is there some seal/gasket/retainer that they go through first?

I need another rear part to the hood too so I will wait until something comes along but I think it`s a good price too.
They go through the rear bottom rubber seal I believe.
