Those look like the body stiffeners to reinforce the Door to jamb connection on convertibles.
What's their size?

Ok here is my guess they are for a 67-69 Camaro with a fold down rear seat, lets see a shot of the other side.

I may be totally mistaken, but I seem to remember something similar to that on the inner edges on my el camino tailgate.

These are stamped metal; so I will tell you it is a reverse stamp of the side you see! Nothing special...I got these in a box of Chevelle parts in trade of stuff; Have no Idea what they are....

I have seen cabinetry that had magnetic latches that used pieces like that on the doors to mate with magnets to keep the doors closed...
