Ash Tray Door Question
04 coupe: Looking at my ash tray door in the closed position, there is a little rectangular piece of soft black rubber on the face of the door in the upper right corner. It is maybe 1/4" high and about 1/2" wide. Is that supposed to be there? What is it for?
Looks like it is just stuck on and could be pulled off, but I didn't want to remove it if it serves some purpose.

I was wondering if it was maybe a stop, or bumper, that is supposed to be back inside somewhere for when the door is open, and it maybe came loose and stuck to the door.
Seems like it is on there too perfectly straight and square to be an accident though.
I'm wondering if the previous owner had something attached or sitting there. Guess I'll just pull it off then. It's no big deal being there, but just looks strange and out of place. Thanks for the replies.

Had the same thing on my 02 Vert. Removed it without causing any rattles. Supposed it to be an anti-rattle bumper that transferred from its intended position behind the door bezel.
Also, didn't notice any appreciable decline in performance when removed.

What did you do with yours when you removed it? I could always use an addtional 6 1/2 hp. Let's see, how many of these things would I need to come up to an LS7?
