Anyone know what this black rectangle is?

I have no idea what this think on my windshield is. It is hard and not easily pulled up on the corner. Before I go and pull it off I want to find out what it is.

No much else to take a pic of. It is a hard plastic rectangle that is stuck on the inside of the windshield in the corner by the drivers side.

If nobody else has one it must be something that the dealer stuck on.

That's your ECU lubrication fluid solenoid. It works in tandem with your blinker fluid delivery system to provide much needed cooling and lubrication to the ECU and passenger floor mat.

I wouldn't remove it if I were you...

It could be some type of dealer installed RFID tag for inventory purposes which the government is using to track you. Have you been downloading porn? They know!!!

Chewie4299 09-07-2012 10:53 AM

Might serve dual purpose as the aforementioned monolith too....

I figured it was some kind of dealer inventory thing, or for making the black helicopters be able to track me.

Actually I believe it's also the solenoid that needs to be replaced when Martians attack and hit us with a massive ECM burst so so that the car will run again and you can escape.

I'd look into getting a second one and carrying it in your glove box along with a hydrospanner to remove the old one.

sounds like one of those things they put inside of products so that the alarm goes off if you leave the store.

be careful not to drive through a grocery store door.

Maybe it's just a piece of tape the dealership put there to cover up a small crack in the windshield.:lol:

I have one of those too. Probably an inventory tag.

Synack 09-07-2012 01:20 PM

Remove it

Lucas Electrics part, usually only comes on the UK-spec GT-86s. Who knows how you got one.

I believe it controls the self-dimming headlamps, but I could be (and probably am) wrong.
