What are these?
I found one of these under each seat. Anybody have a clue as to what they are for? All power functions work ok. I fixed the rocking problem so I know they don't go in there.(too wide) [IMG]

Im at work and I dont get pictures (just RED X's) but, without even seeing the pics, I bet that they are little white plastic C shaped do dads anout the size of a quarter and about 1/4" thick!
I found two under my seat when the car was new and the dealer could'nt even tell me what they were or what they went to. I still have them! Maybe they will be worth a fortune some day.

What are you . . . some kind of psychic??? this place is amazing!Let me try -
Ok, I'm at work too, I can't see the pic but is there a ruler with "J.L. Hammett, No. 21212, Made in U.S.A." stamped on it? just a wild guess.
I'm constantly amazed at the knowledge on this forum!!!

Nope. Widget-gizmos 
Looks like some type of stand-off. Never seen beneath my seats but I wonder if they were there to maybe keep the bottom cushion from rubbing on a wire? I like to assume that GM did everything for a reason!

Don't have a clue as to what they are. I didn't notice any of them when I had my seats out.
