What are these clips for?
« on: July 01, 2015, 01:14:29 AM »
Ok, so I found these two clips in amongst 5 pounds of Californian sand that came out of the cowl. (Just as well I thought to sift it!)

Any idea as to what they are for?

They look different to the ones in my second picture though?
Where do they mount?

they look different because they are broken. the flat side with prongs sticks into the rubber & the other into the oval holes along the cowl.

Makes sense as to why they would have fallen into the cowl too - Thanks.
