55 Century Trunk stops and trunk seal

I have a couple questions about the trunk on my 55 Century.

#1 Are the trunk stops painted body color? Including the rubber part?

#2 I assume that when installing the trunk seal the seam would be at the bottom of the trunk lid?

Thanks, Mud

Mud:

When I installed my trunk seal I put the seam at the bottom. It just seemed logical to me when you think about how the water would flow. And I don't think the rubber parts are painted but maybe someone else can chime in here.

#1 the trunk bumpers on my original had no paint on the rubber or metal which was plated (zinc or cad). Of course paint does not stick to those part very well after all these years. If the black rubber shows after assembly, then re-mold it in body color

#2 bottom center.
