Default “Spare” parts found - ID?

Hi all,

My first post, other than an introductory pic - I drove home my new (to me) 2015 V6S last week, and am enjoying every mile so far. I finally went into the glove box to grab the owner’s manual, and found a couple of loose chrome trim parts there:




(This is one, of a matching pair). I tried searching online for the stamped part number with no success, and a walk around the car doesn’t find any pieces missing. Anyone have any idea what these piece might be?

It looks like the silver part of the key fob.

No, my apologies for not providing anything to scale. Each piece is about 6" (150mm) long.

They are the chrome inserts on the roll bars for the windcscreen. They get replaced by the wind screen mounting brackets.
