... and my questions are...

1. What is it
2. Does it matter that its now hanging loose rather than mounted to the bodywork

Its a little black thingy (best word right now for it!) with one black wire to it. Behind the passenger seat and seemed to clip onto the side of the body. I snapped it off when wrestling the roll bar into place.

Its here....

and here it us up close:

I'm thinking its an earth point of some kind?

If so forget it. On a serious note, I have no idea.

Ah.... that would make sense. Unfortunately I have a heated window in the soft AND hard top!.. so I'll see if I can fudge a repair of sorts.
