Default What is this piece called?

I'm trying to figure out what the heck the piece that goes on the outside of the car for the compartment support is called. Its riveted from the inside to the outside, for the compartment hinges to screw into. If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Fugue in E-flat.

Why not post a pic of what you're looking at and calling an "exterior" compartment?

Its not an exterior compartment, its on the exterior of the car to support the screws for the rear compartment. If I had a pic with me I'd post it I honestly figured it would take someone 2 seconds to name what it was. When I go home later Ill grab a pic for sure.
