What are these?

What is the purpose of these plastic clips at the bottom of the rear window?

Maybe (just maybe) they are spacers used to fit the window in place, and normally removed afterward?

Those were used at the factory when they installed the rear window. Appears someone on assembly line or during clean up for the new truck failed to remove them.

Thanks guys, I was afraid to mess with them in case they were connected to something important behind the window.

Not only does that have to get missed once (factory), it was missed (ignored) a second time at the dealer (PDI). Funny.

Never saw those before in my neck of the swamps! I see you're in BA Oklahoma,,,my youngest daughter lived there from 2004 to 2009. Nice area and we even had to evacuate up there when Katrina hit in 2005 for about 2 weeks until we could get home. Hope you're liking the new truck.

We had a mandatory evacuation where I lived and went to Baton Rouge for two nights to ride out the storm. Then headed to Houston to the wife's sister's house and spent 3 nights there. Talked to our daughter in BA and they said head up here because it will be about a week or more before you can get home. We had my 80+ year old parents and my brother plus my wife in my 2004 Lariat F150 plus all our valuables under cover in the bed. The people in the Tulsa and BA area were super nice to us and something I'll never forget. We had about 18K out of pocket wind and rain damage and the rest was covered by insurance. Down the highway about 40 miles from our house it was complete devastation and under up to 30 ft of saltwater. We ended up selling the house and moving about 60 miles away. Daughter lived on West Kent off 101st if my memory is still intact!!

I put up an extra 6 people (and 3 dogs) who evacuated from Gulfport, Miss.
Things were tight for two weeks - but we survived.

Sorry to here about the loss, that must have been a tough situation to get through. At least the friendly folks in Tulsa made you feel at home. I don't realize how friendly people are in Tulsa until I travel out of state and see how normal people are.

Yeah I took mine out after I picked up the truck and my buddy who owns a collision shop told me what they were.
