Cleaned out all the gunk in my clogged up soft top drain buckets, and found one of these in each of them. Any ideas what they could be from? Hoping they're not important

 

Parts of a wiper blade?

 

Weather stripping near the rain drains, it goes under the black plastic frame that the top is tucked under.

 

Is this something that can only be reached if the top is off? Or can I get to it via the tray area? (My tray is currently out already)

 

those are very important rubber pieces.

 

easy to replace without having to remove anything. Put the top down in order to access the space. I was missing one completely and used a piece of rubber windshield wiper. I reinstalled with 3M double sided automotive tape. I believe it helps direct run off water into the drains.

Could I possibly get a picture of someone pointing out where it's supposed to go? I'm a visual learner

 

Will do once I get off work.

 

here you go good sir. It's near the little brushy part.
