Trunk bolt
Hi gys ,
recently I started to work on my '85. While soundproofing the trunk I have found in the a large bolt which seemed to be there only to keep in place the factory soundproofing material . On the otherside it is backed by a large metal plate.
Questions : Is this bolt there from the factory ?
Is there a reason GM made it so big ?
Can I get rid of it ?

Thanks.

Is the top of the bolt threaded on the inside? (maybe where a smaller bolt/screw can be put into it) this is a long shot but maybe a amp or something was attached to it? Only thing I can thing of...
