And, do you know what that cable and sensor are for? I have been thinking about taking down my headliner to find an anoying rattle. Sounds like it is right over the sunglass holder, but it is hard to pinpoint. Or, maybe I can fill the whole area with some low expansion foam spary. Not! | |

Someone posted a while back that they had a water leak on the passenger floor. This tube was probably the culprit. As for the "bar" in the OP's question, there are actually two of them. Not sure what they're for. My guess is for extra support. Perhaps because the rear dome light unit attaches to that area. [attachmentid=11335] | |

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | apart from asking why you have all that silver foil  It looks to me as if those two brackets are there for a purpose either extra support for external feet of a roofrack or for some sort of screw theough feet Do they have Police Prius that need the lighting unit mounting? Or a high rear spoiler? |

I also added an extra layer of heat insulation to the headliner itself. Quote:
