Whar is this thing?

Bear with me as I explain this. In my trunk area, next to the latch, I have four or five little silver things, on the top next to the latch, I have a black thing that matchs up to it. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks, thought it was to pull the hatch down a little more (like on some cars).

nope, it's for the brakelight, on the pre-86 models it doubled for the power supply for the rear wiper assembly.

instead of rear wipers, mine has a CB antenna mount on it. I don't know if that is what it actualy is, but that's what the seller told me. They also installed the speakers and tape player with electrical tape instead of conectors. I thought the radio sounded fuzzy at first.
