What is this part? Where does it belong?

Hello, found these two panels when I was working on the dash and interior. I forget where they go, any ideas? A picture of it installed would also be appreciated.
thanks

They go each side of the rear carpeted back panel that houses the soft top, essentially just behind the B pillar.

Here’s a pic of one of mine installed on the left under the soft top cover release handle. The right one is opposite this spot. 

Hope this helps
