What's this metal tab?

Hmmmm....

Can anybody identify this metal tab? And assuming it's not suppose to be there, is it a matter of popping out the plastic and tucking the tab away?

It's located in the rear hatch area on the driver's side.

Thanks for any help!!

I think it is just the tab to hold the plastic trim in place. It should be tucked inside for sure.

Whatever you do, don't pull that tab. Ever. I'm not supposed to share this with anyone - but -

It vaporizes the impactor plate and engages the LSD!!! LOL

Those mods are scheduled for 2008. That is when the tab gets removed at the factory ... Bwahahahahahahaha

I don't see that on my car, as Will mentioned, should be tucked inside the car along with what appears to be foam.

Seriously though, that panel is on wrong and you can tell, you shouldn't see that foam under there or the gap. Someone was working back there and did a poor job on reassembly.

Take a look in the Articles section at my article on painting the rear hatch pieces (speed yellow in my case) and you'll see that there are multiple tabs like that used to line up the pieces in the hatch and get them to fit nicely together. Yours is on the wrong side, someone has been messing around back there and didn't get the pieces back together correctly. Those tabs hold pieces together and help stop plastic from rubbing/squeaking/creaking in those areas.

Thanks Everyone! I appreciate the help! I'm guessing they took it apart when they were trying to figure out a chirping sound I have.

K-Man S, I looked through you article (great article!) and correct my if I'm wrong, but it looks like a lot of work to get to that one tab. (ie remove seatbelt clip, engine cover, aluminum cover, etc.) Is there an easier way to get to this?

Thanks!
