Found these while tearing into the rear windows... one on each side, they were found on the front quarter panel bottom, and judging from their condition, they have been there for a while. I'm guessing they have something to do with the window mechanism?

Those look like nuts for side trim.

Well, from the keys I'm guessing it is a 67 B body. There are a bunch of bumpers in there, probably one of thise that has fallen off.

I found them when I pulled my capet... I think they go on something to keep from scratching surfing assembly... the didn't go to my Windows maybe on the threads of the seat bolts.... but I am curious I also found a 3" piece of 12 ga brass rod under the carpet as well.. in a seam and a non filter cigarette in the same place r/r floor pan

'67 b body.... like someone had a bag of them and they got spiled

These were inside the rear quarters, one on each side... they were under piles of pine needles, so I guess they haven't been protecting anything for decades.
Interesting re: the keys - so those pentastar-shaped ones came in 1968? My car's an early '68 Satellite, rolled out from the Los Angeles plant on January 25.

I have found these before. I think they stop the seat belt floor bracket threads from getting filled up with stuff like primer or anti rust solution when being dipped. Not sure though..

That makes sense to me because one did have some over spray on it and was filled with something that turned to dust when I squeezed it... there may be other plugs though...
