[DeTomaso] Deck lid wobbles

[michael frazier]

Leave it off.  
My car had a wing at one point in time and the holes are still there but they're filled with very discrete
low profile hard plastic plugs.  Dennis Q may have a line on them as this car was built by his partner and evidently
lived there for some time.  I'll fill the holes at paint time but for now they're OK.
