Another What is this?

This is on the Halo of my 2003 Coupe. There is one on each side behind the passenger and driver. I have looked on 97 - 2002's and no one else has this. Please help

The square box.

Have that on my 04 as well, some one said it helps with the wind turbulence with the roof off, but who knows.

If your head was getting ready to pass through that space in an accident, I don't think safety would be an issue at that point any more.

Does your car have an aftermarket alarm? That may be a motion sensor with a custom cover. I have seen smaller ones in the center of the targa bar, but never there.
