Been trying to figure out what the item is in the attached pic. Looked all over and haven't figured it out. I was taking my roof panel off this weekend. Had no problems doing so. Stored it in the back and then started cruising around. I noticed this rubber piece in my passenger seat. Can't figure out what it is. Any ideas?

That's the rubber grommet that goes on the front roof pins. Very important. You are, no doubt, missing one of them.

Yes that is it. I had one stuck in the hole and one on the pin. I put them both on the pin so I don't lose them

Thanks. I will look when I get home. Are these the pins facing the rear of the car?

No, as I said above, these are on the front roof pins.

Sorry. I think I am losing my mind.

Thanks again!

Thanks everyone. That's was exactly the issue. Back on and had to go for a drive with no destination to celebrate.

They come out all the time. Only a few bucks a piece, I ordered a bunch so I just throw another one on if I lose one. My roof comes off daily so its a constant battle for me to remember to check and see if it came out.

little dab of silicone to hold them in place works.

Would someone post a part number and/or exploded parts diagram for this grommet? I saw half of one and thought it may have been manufacturing debris . . . now I know, thanks!

I'll try that. I take my roof on an off once or twice a day so this has become a minor annoyance for me.
