    Those metal clips were masked off with painters tape prior to painting and it has sense been removed.

     BTW, I used the SEM Black Landau for the metal trim pieces as well.  Came out like new.

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    The one in the middle is for the window crank but I'm sure you figured that out, the one below that actually gets covered up by the lower portion of the seat so....hmmm

    It may be for the seat belt anchor.

    If I remember correctly, that hole is there so you can access the lower 1/4 window mounting/adjusting bolt.(possibly for fine tuning the window after the trim is installed.
