What's this black metal thing on the underside of the rear shelf of my 03 sedan?
 

I have an 03 Accord EX sedan. On the rear shelf, (in the trunk) on the centerline between the speakers there's a black metal bracket kinda-thing with another metal piece that's mounted in rubber. It appears to be some sort of vibration damper. Anyone know what it's for? Maybe to reduce the speaker vibrations?

do you have teh NAVI?

I think the disc reader is bolted to the underside of the rear deck.

No, the car doesn't have the Nav System.

hmmm...

it's hard to say then. I have a coupe that I'll check at lunch time.

but I know that the trunklid springs are up there, and also the seatback unlock thingy. also I think the seatbelt spools are there.

Yeah, that's where the DVD rom would go for the navigation system. That's where it is in mine.

no...it's the navi DVD drive mount.
