Default Can anyone ID these fallen rubber bumpers from Targa roof? New suggestion creaking?

I found two loose rubber bumpers in the tracks to my 2010 Targa roof. Anyone know what they are and if needed to be replaced?

Also any new suggestions for creaking when going over bumps? I've tried suggestions from threads several years ago. I've cleaned the tracks and used a lubricant called Wurth I read about - but used in the side tracks doesn't seem to help with creaking. Thanks.

I have 2011 Targa will take a look at mine to see if I can spot something similar. Also not having much luck with creaking solution.

I don't believe they are bumpers - they look more like inlets for the targa roof drains. The "Y" structure inside looks to prevent larger debris blocking the drain. Are they hollow?

The two drain sleeve images online don’t match yours so not sure.

Thanks all for the info- it gives me an area to look to reinsert them - seems like the drain.
