Default What Is The Function Of This Part?

Hello, everyone!

I had the top down on my NBC and saw a part located behind each of the passenger windows, but I am uncertain what function this part plays in the vehicle. I took a photo of it and included it here.

Is there anyone that can identify what this is for?

Thanks!

v/r,

Those are what you see referred to around here as the "flaps", deleted mid year '04 with a design change. Serve no purpose but to copen and close as the top raises and lowers to close the void. Very problematic.

He's got a Triple Black 05. I don't think it's the flap that was removed mid-year 04.
