I found the same pieces of metal on mine. Don't know where they came from.

Those are locating keys that are used to properly align your wipers when installing them at the factory.

I have read that they are used for assembly and can be discarded; others have stated that they are necessary and should be reinstalled.

Mine fell out a long time ago, but I kept them to align my wipers when I remove my wiper cowl, for A pillar light install.

Interesting. How do they help align? I found mine in little slots in the cowl and discarded them.

Hmm... I found one also. I think it’s buried in the centre console.

I looked everywhere for something that was missing or messed up when I found one of these. Thought I picked it up randomly from driving maybe, but seemed really odd. Thanks!

Found a set shortly after I got my truck. Was waiting for a windshield wiper to come flying off one day, as they looked like key ways to me.

Now I know.

OMG thank you! I found one of these a few months back sitting at the bottom of my windshield. Had no idea where it came from or if it even was part of my truck.
