Re: Convertible part???????? (standup)
That piece covers the inside frame support rod that goes from the center hump on the passenger side to the base of the windshield frame on that side. This cover is below the dash panel on the passenger side, it attaches to the RH radio support bracket behind the center console. The drilled holes mount vertically on the left as you look at it. The point of the triangle points toward the passenger door.

I don't think coupes used the extra support rods, as the structural "rigidity" of the coupe body made the car more solid and less prone to rattles. Chuck

Re: Convertible part???????? (standup)
Hmmm...my car must be missing this part. I've always wondered if there was supposed to be a trim part in this spot to cover up the duct. I just looked at a few different websites to try and locate this part (e.g. Corvette Central, Mid America, and Ecklers) but can't find it. Does anyone have a part number?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Convertible part???????? (TonyQT)
It's for an AC vert only. If you don't have AC or a vert you don't have it. It hides the Ac duct. 
Hiding the AC ducting makes sense, but I have to ask: Is the AC ducting routed differently on a Coupe???? If not, then why does a Coupe not have this part??????? Or do they????????
Interesting :yesnod: ...........
