Default Tubes Crossing Rear Storage


​​​​​​Ignore the fatfinger in the upper left, however, what are these two seemingly plastic tubes crossing over the upper rear storage area?

I didnt think they were plastic unless you are referring to the rubber sleeving on them

rubber sleeving is there to prevent rattles when they clank together over bumps
