Looking for any guidence on a mystery part on the Bay window steel sunroof, small plastic plugs along the front inner tray of the body for the sunroof. See in photos. I'm guessing they are for insulating the front edge of the roof for rattles? I haven't seen these in any parts catalog so I thinks its a build it yourself deal?
Appreciate anyone that knows about these

The plastic cable guides have tabs that fit into those holes.
That pointy end of the sheet metal screw sticking up is interesting. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Now thats good news and also embarrassing I should have figured that out. The plastic guides were basically powder when then came off. The screw holds a Janky rubber strap that was used to hold the roof closed. Cables were seized in the runners. I have new cables, gear.. and found new plastic cable guides.
Thank you
