I appears to be one of the rubber boots that sits on top of the radiaor underneath the shroud that goes across the condensor and radiator.

It is the rubber piece that goes on the passenger side of the top radiator shroud and keeps the coolant lines from rubbing up against the bottom edge of the shroud.

Also, Micah is right - it does keep the condenser line from hitting the shroud.

Much more detailed and better answer than mine.

Thanks for the responses but I am not able to find the location where it would go. Micha says it is "one" of the rubber things, I don't see any others. I tried it in a couple of spots but it just does not seem right.

Maybe a photo of where it goes would help me.

There is only one of these on the car. The shroud edge gets pushed into the slit in the rubber piece. Here - Mrs. Patches will demonstrate how it goes on for you.
