Plastic on cargo wall drivers side?

[RedTailHawk]

Anyone know what this square plastic form is? There isn’t one on other side
It’s on a 2024 Bronco Raptor 4-door

There is a wire harness that runs from the car to the hard top shell for the wiper, etc. This is where you plug it in if you take the hard top off.

So it’s just a holder for the harness when it is detached?

The harness and washer, yes

Correct

And it has come up again! DRINK!

I suppose that since it's not labeled (For Hard top removal?), no one knows that searching "What is this?" in the forum will produce dozens of entries. lol

It's buried in the Owners Manual as well:

I appreciate it. And you are right, without knowing what it is made it hard to search (I tried many searches around the cargo area, walls, plastic, etc. But I'll gladly DRINK.

FWIW, I'm just coming back to Ford (Bronco Raptor) after having my RAM TRX stolen, and had a 2011 Ford Raptor before that, and I gotta say the "Owner's Manual" in the 2024 Bronco isn't the easiest to use. I'd prefer to be able to take a printed copy inside my house and read it leisurely rather than having to sit in the vehicle with ignition accessory on, and hunting for topics on the screen. Anyone know if there is an online version of the Owner's Manual that can be accessed from laptop, iPad, mobile devices? If not, kind of screwed if the vehicle is disabled (fuse, battery, etc) and you can't access the owner's manual.

Oddly enough, I don't see Raptors listed separately from Broncos. I don't know if the latest Bronco manual includes both or what, but you can enter your VIN there and it will for sure bring up the correct one.

I agree, it's annoying not having a printed copy. I find myself printing random stuff out and shoving it in the glove box or gluing it in appropriate locations (fuse layout, fluid specs, etc).

In the 2011 Raptor and 2022 TRX, the center console had slots to hang file folders, in which I was able to keep a few key printouts (e.g. for traction settings, etc). This Bronco has very little storage area.

I found this place that sells stickers of the fuse box info to stick under the lid of the fuse box: https://www.stickerfab.com/collecti...lid-labels-2021-bronco?variant=44369806590271

Maybe it's just because I tend to look at more than just the specific object, or maybe it's because I've been working on cars my whole life...but the very first time I looked in the back of a Bronco, I saw both of those, then right above it the wiring harness and sprayer hose, and went 'oh hey that's cool, a place to put them to keep them from getting filled with crap when the roof is off! Somebody thought ahead!'

I guess I'm one of the few though.
