What in the world are these tiny things?

[RFP]

What are these two little black things? As you can see, they are about the size of a quarter... As I recall, I found them under the front mats or perhaps under the front carpet. Beats me!

Thanks,

Rob

Might be the tool to remove your radio.

I think they're aftermarket floor mat hooks.

Factory clips/retainer for 86+ dash vents
4 per vent 2 top 2 bottom

These are spring clips and are from your 87. They mount on the sides of your air vents (molded in place with two tiny plastic "knobs") that hold them in place in the dash.

Many, many thanks!

Looks like drug paraphernalia to me...where exactly are you located, like a street address or near a point of interest?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

if you need to, just 5-minute epoxy them back on. Stronger than original.

hey Felipe! Have a great weekend!

I'm thinking that a previous owner may have replaced the 'loose' vent... all three are now rock solid !

Are these clips available separately? If so, anyone have the part number? I could use a couple of them to fix my vent.

I can check Todd but hard to find so quickly before coming up tomorrow.

Todd... If you can tell me how to check for sure that I don't need these - and, if it turns out that I don't - you are welcome to them...

Rob, if your vents are tight, you don't need them.

Rob,
If you are like me, taking them out to check them (in my case clean them) will result in you needing the clips

Todd...

I've tugged on all three vents pretty darned good... they are all super-tight. I'm thinking that I really don't need these.

If you want to PM me your mailing address, I'll send you the two I have.

Regards,

Rob
