Default Plastic box top of trunk area in sedan?

There’s a plastic box affixed to the top of the trunk area. It’s not obvious to me what that would be for? It’s a little off center to the right.

Without the year, model, & equipment of the car you are working it could be ANYTHING.
Could be the amplifier for the Harman entertainment system in a 15 WRX, could be the rear keyless antenna on a BRZ, noise suppressor for the antenna on a Legacy...

Probably an antenna noise supressor. The antenna is made into the rear glass and there will be a wire to the left and right side of the rear glass as well as the harness/coax that goes up the C pillar on the right side and along the roof to the radio.

Elbert,

Thanks for the try! Turns out it’s a housing for the middle seat belt retractor.

That's what I get for overthinking...
