Do I need those? I have nothing on my floor and didn't know anything went there. Got a pic of where they go?

They install here on the toe pan....
With all the structural members to work around, there isn't much there to attach kick panels to other than the vent ring. I believe the rubber floor mat would slide under the tabs on the retainer, and the "kick-up" of the tabs keeps the kick panels in tight at the bottom without the use of screws.
WADR, those look like they are in wrong. The tab side goes up and the kick panel is retained by the two tabs. I'll shoot you a pic today of the 57 and its original units.
Hmmm, interesting, I looked at my 56sedan and it has those pieces. It looks like the tabs are bent up and the kick panel actually goes in between the tabs and the upright leg.
A 56 is quite a bit different in that area. It also has another small piece that apparently holds the kick panel out. Here's a couple pics of my 56 sedan. The floor is all original.

Laszlo, I think the floor to A-pillar brace is a standard item on 55's, and they figured afterward the body was fine without it, hence it gone on your 56. I do believe they continued it's use on the convertible though.
Nick, I'd be curious to see that, it may be a 57 thing only or that car went through the assy line on Friday.
All the ones I have ever seen, both in pictures and in person, have used the chamfered flange in the vertical position, and the tab punched flange spot welded to the toe panel.. But I don't recall if any were of 57 variety.. It may be that the tabs are intended to be bent up after installation of the kick panel, but again, I have never seen them in that configuration. I guess it's also possible someone bent yours up to hold better???? Is it the same on your 55?

Robert, here's a pic I just took of my 56 sedan. The tapered side does go up, and it's not clear if the tabs are supposed to be bent up or not. What would they hold down? The felt? I have another original 56 4-door that I could check out.

Here is a pic of Geoff's 55 Vert. Tabs are in the vertical section but do have tapered ends. Will go take a pic of 57.Originally Posted by MP&C

They hold the bottom of the kick panel in place.
