Trunk lock rod cover

[Shoooter]

How is the trunk lock cover held on , with screws at the latch end? Is there studs on the taillight or are they screws as well?

Four Phillips head machine screws with a internal  tooth washer. 

I just used #8 self tapping screws most of the time.

Just the screw or the kind with the washer attached? Thank you Allan
