Help identify this

Hi, so I was replacing the (cosmetic) windscreen seals today as they were close to disintegrating and noticed what look like a plastic bag stuck in the front left quarter panel where the water drains from the windscreen. This is what I pulled out !

Can someone please tell me what its for?? It was blocking the water draining properly from the sills and causing a lot of gunk to build up there.

I've also attached the pic incase the pic doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply at least I know I'm not the only one. did you end up leaving it in or taking it out?

I ended up pulling it out. I didn't have any additional wind noise or water leaks .http://forums.justcommodores.com.au...13/235740-plastic-bag-engine-compartment.html

Thanks for the reply, I think I'll leave it out now as well, I think it did more damage than good by clogging up my drainage for the windscreen . Flushed it all out before putting on the new mouldings .

I found one in my SS ute. I thought a previous owner stuck in in there. I took it out and i didnt notice any change in wind noise or anything.

I have noticed i need to take out the inner front guards and clip the foam seals that sit between the body and guards back in...

are we talking where the pollen filter is located or lower down
i have never seen these and would love to know what it is and why it is fitted
i am thinking some sort of anti vibration

That part is for sound deadening although the foam should be fully sealed by bag. The way is looks all scrunched up I would almost guarantee some hack has taken the guard off and not fitted it properly when re-installing. If you have a look on the other side with door fully open and look between hinge pillar and guard you will probably see it.. although minor yes they do make a different, they are a bit tricky to fit if you haven't done one before.
