Default Just purchased 2005 Mustang fastback

There is a bolt protruding from I'm guessing the spare tire area. When I attempted to lift the material to access the area, it was glued down???? Since this is my first Mustang, I'm trying to find any and all areas needing addressed. Help!!!

This happened in my 2005 V6 Mustang. The fabric is, indeed, glued down to the wood trunk panel. In my case, Wifey set heavy groceries in the trunk, which pressed the wood panel down into the spare-tire well, causing the mounting bolt to poke through the panel and carpet. The fix is to get a 1"x2", and cut it to the width of the tire well, and lay them across the rim of the spare tire. Then, when you lay the trunk panel and carpet back down, it will be braced on the 1"x2", and will not sink down into the spare tire well.

Sorry for the long explanation!
