The flapping boot cover:

Those elastic straps go around the lower link in the top, when the top is 
lowered. It should be in your owner's manual. If you don't fasten them, 
the boot cover *will* flap something fierce.

The "wires" in the trunk:

You're talking about the ones that connect to the hinges, right? Those 
are the torsion bars that hold your trunk lid open. Assuming you don't 
have a spoiler or wing, in which case your trunk lid falls closed quite 
easily. :) If you disconnect them, you might find it rather difficult to 
reinstall them.
