I think u answered your own question. Silicon. Just put a small dab so they won't turn/jiggle

The shop is afraid to put a silicon. But they did great on the install. I will try that

If this help a member here give a cheaper idea to fill the holes using aluminum tape and JBweld...
1)put tape on top of the trunk covering the holes with out pressing 2)turn trunk lid and fill holes with JBweld, let it dry, turn lid, remove tape, JBweld should be smooth for the aluminum surface, use touch up paint to finish...

The guy at the auto shop suggesting to use the silicon for windshield crack since theyre clear and waterproof. I just put right amount. Hopefully it will does the job! Thanks everyone for the suggestion.

You need to get the holes welded up then have the trunk re painted

This is an option, but I would think it would be costly. If you don't want to do this or a new trunk lid, I would use silicone.

If you are happy with the hole plugs use just a little bit of RTV around them and that will keep them solid in place forever.
