Default Whats this funky thing?

Welcome to a new episode of "What's This Funky Thing!"

Almost done with the Vintage Air install and can't figure out where this thing goes. Help!

Correct, Mooser. It is called the forward console trim pad extension. It is used on convertibles with A/C. It conceals one of the convertible with A/C-only cross braces located behind the passenger side lower trim panel.

Only reason I knew about them is I was looking to add one to my non-ac / coupe to hide some wires I had showing there but eventually moved some things around it they disappeared.
But if I find one at a fleamarket someday I'll grab it JIC.
