    Can anyone tell me what these are?

    They look like they are either shims or backing plates. I was going through some of the parts on my shelves and found them. Not sure where they go.

    Scott, They do appear to be seat track shims. they attach to the back of the seat track.

      They also appear they could be the plates for the outer hood surround support for the headlight support located on the forward side 1 in each wheel well.

      A second look they are small for that item.

        How about shims for the wiper door opening mechanism? That's my guess.

          I think they are shims for adjusting the catch for the seat backrest.

            I thought shimms for the seat back were natural. those don't look natural, but then computers and the net can do strange things to finish appearance.

              The seat ones don't have squared corners, so I don't think these are seat shims.
              I'm agreeing with the wiper door shim, especially if they are relatively thin.

              I know I've seen them somewhere.

                OK. Got it! They are wiper door shims! They must have fallen off my assembly when I shelved it. Thanks a bunch! Sorry to do this but now I have another...IMG_2536.jpg They are not U-nuts. Just clips with a solid back. Came in a bag of 4. I have been going through my shelves, trying to clean the mess, and I keep coming across these things that I knew what they were for when I got them but I seem to forget after a few months. That's what happens when you wind up with a bunch of parts and don't get to work on your car for several months at a time. I figure if anyone could tell me what they were, you guys could! I used to be real good about "bag and tag". Looks like I need to try harder.

                  You are correct! Thanks!

                    FYI - In regard to seat shims, the rectangular shims have a gray phosphate plating and the small round ones are natural.

                      The clips in the bag look like the clips to hold on the upper fender corner trim.

                        Lots of clips that look like that. Little difficult to tell, but they look a lot like the hard top front weatherstrip retainers.
