:lol: Iv been looking at other cars and about 1 in 100 have them but im still none the wiser :unsure:
 
I'm not gonna go there :lol: you turbo deficient swab. :p
 
i would guess at something like stopping wind noise
Its possible Paul but i think this is going to be one of those mystery's :lol:
I was thinking the window locks into it to spot wobble.
 
LOl extra petrol horse FTW

Brett they are Glass guides when the glass come up these guides nudge the glass every so slight so it get into its top channel. if this wasn't there the glass when going up will hit the rubber seal and not enter the channel.

The 7thgen have them too.
CJ to the rescue :lol: But my 7th gen nether had these :unsure:
 
Jealously ... indeed a nasty thing to behold...
 
am i thinking these clips are only on petrol models lol
 
Wait there - I'll just go check my 2.4 killer outside ;).



**edit**

Obviously us Diesels don't rattle about like you Petrol boys. I ain't got one, but it does explain the mystery recess on my wind deflectors. :D

Uncalled for Brett. Shame on you....






:)
 
sorry Paul lol couldn't resist
 
on a serious note guys this had brought up something.
why are these clips only on petrol accords without the debate.
 
Think CJ was right. Lings list it on a 2010 2.4EX as a glass guide (I think it's the part).

I have these on my EX Diesel 8th Gen too. Agree with CJ, look like window guides for motorway speed travel. not sure if you can see the one on the passenger window?
