The design of the weight, an elastic heavy rubber puck dynamically mounted in a metal frame suggests it is there to prevent rattling, which hatchbacks in general are notorious for. No squeaks/ rattles in 1000 miles now.

And while we are on the subject of weight reduction, do you really need TWO horns? I don't...........

That's so random... Now I can't tell what years do and don't have the weight...
And my car only has 1 horn... Not sure where you're seeing the second
