Default What are these called?

Just below the front window, on both sides, there is a panel that has 3 rivets through it. What is this panel called? The one on the passenger side is completely gone. And it appears I need the one on that side that the vaccum diaphram is attached to as well. I can't find out what the panels are called. Anyone have any names?

No. These are not inside the car. They are infront of the doors, under the outer skin.

to teh windhield frame and have the top of the fenders bonded to them ?

Those be the ones. My passenger one was destroyed in an earlier accedent. All they did was put a bunch of adhesive on to try to hold it in place. Now that I getting ready to put a new clip on, I'd to find the broken and missing panels and replace them. Drivers side is all good.
