Can anyone identify this part ?
My photographic memory.... is more like a working negative right now... Bahahahaha !
Putting my '68 442 back together and did not bag/tag these two items... I had them in a box with other parts from the doors. I seperated the parts (LH&RH) and now reassembled all of the glass in the doors and quarters.... and these two (LH&RH) parts can't find there way home. You can see where a large washer was on the bracket in the picture (at the slot) and on the back of the slot (pic's 3) a small square (slightly rectangular) impression... appears. The tiny little hole looks like a rubber bumper was attached...possibly (?) Could these have any thing to do with the door panels (?) I can't seem to find any place for them and down loaded a exploded view for a front door... and it does not show them either.... HELP

The look like they are held in place with one screw and hold something in place with a clip. I can't seem to figure it out either.
I can't see them having anything to do with the vent windows either.
Odd.

I am usually very detailed when taking apart a car for restoration... bagging and tagging everything...etc. I have all of the glass back in, everything works as it should, and these brackets were in the box (!?) I have checked out the quarter windows... and they are complete and working as they should... For a little while I thought they could be from the door panels, or arm rest, etc... but nope, they don't go there either. I hope someone knows what they are and where the go... I have been all over "wild about cars" website and don't see them in any drawings.... Still Fishing for the winning answer!

Part identified... Bracket for Vent Window - Door Panel
Identifying the part..... mystery solved!
The part attaches to the rear bolt that holds the vent glass in place! The purpose for the bracket is to assist in holding the door panel in place below the vent window.
I hope this information will help others ....

Pictures of Bracket installed:
You won't find these in the exploded view of the door, window, or parts on any web.... my brain finally figured it out of playing with them for three days!
THANKS FOR TRYING TO HELP ME SOLVE THE MYSTERY
