Vent window tips, pillar seal retainers, and top frame corner "skids" that contact and protect the vinyl pad on the floor of the trunk when the top is lowered into it. I don't recognize the small chrome bit with the countersunk hole as being from a Thunderbird convertible.

The "skid" is mounted at the side of the front header with two small pan head sheet metal screws. The screw holes and screws can only be accessed when the side rail gaskets are uninstalled.
