Any idea what this is? Some kind of anti-static device?

Same, when I first took delivery of my car I noticed it. I poked it up under the sill and have never seen it since.

Ok, you know what the next question is. Was she hot?

I'm equipping my car with puke bags I stole from a plane...
So you're planning on having people puke in your car again, nice of you.

Unless he's the "nice guy" type who drives the hot girl and her boyfriend, and she pukes in his car but the other guy takes her home.

Look man, unless you give more details we're just going to have to assume the worst.

Some kind of anti-static device? It looks really filmsy.



Not sure if your car is equipped with WiFi however those look like the WiFi antennas for the car, similar antennas are found in laptops to pickup the WiFi signal. I know my car comes with the WiFi and this only seems logical. I was thinking that maybe they are the cabin air temp sensors, however those would look different.

Agreed, but at the expense of CarFax already flagging his car with Vomit Accident Recorded.

With the exception of UAL225 everyone here is just harassing me about the puking incident rather than answering my original question...

I actually have the same question, so I'm just here waiting for an answer. I can honestly care less about someone puking in your car (no offense). The Wi-Fi antenna sounds like a real possibility.
