What Are These Things??

I just finished dismantling my instrument panel in order to change a light bulb. While I was pulling apart the dashboard, these little rubber things fell out.

Can anyone tell me what they are and where they are supposed to go? Are they important?

Thanks...

Little bumpers that go on the back side of the plastic pieces to prevent squeaks/creaks/noises in general. Not a huge deal if they're missing.

Damn! Now I know why the plastic pieces are rattling around! I don't want to take it all apart again, though. Haha

Thanks!

OK, I broke down and put the rubber pieces back where they belong. They go between the transparent plastic on the front of the instrument panel and the larger plastic bezel that goes over top of that. It only took two screws, five connectors, and ten minutes.
