I washed the ride today for the wife to save a few bucks and think I pulled two of these off from somewhere near the lower tailgate on my R1S. That's where I found them anyway. They are about the size of a nickel. Any help would be appreciated.

They are part of the spring retention system to keep this flap flush over the gap between the seat and cargo area. The glue failed on all four of mine. Repairs have been scheduled but not a high priority on my end.

Thank you, but not the same. Mine are rubber and not the same shape.

I searched mine and nowhere in the rear do I see any rubber pieces resembling those.

The rubber part is for putting in the drain holes in the black plastic interior part of the tailgate. at bottom that is covered when the tailgate is closed. see the picture below this post
