Default Stoopid question....what is this?

I'd packed away a box of stuff that was in the car when I'd got it home. This was in it.

I don't recognize it, is it a part of the car, or just weird lookin' suspenders?

Thanks....
John

Default it is the T-tops hold down strap

See 'spedaleden' s post titled 'excellent subwoofer enclosure for C3's' in this forum for an excellent picture showing how the strap is mounted.

Gentlemen, Thank You!
I'd just never noticed the chrome clips in my interior, and if I had I probably wouldn't have put the two of them together.
Hmmm, something else to throw out.

Just had a feller e-mail and offer to give it a new home, so it's been saved from certain destruction! It's stuff like this I never know what to do with. Always glad to see something get used vrs flipped in the dumpster.
