What is this?

Anyone have any idea what these are for? They’re on both sides in the rear of my 2021 JL Willys. (If that matters)

That's an interior panel.

In all seriousness, what specifically in the image are you referring to?

Rub strips to keep things from scratching the panel?

a microphone for .gov to listen in

lol. The two longer horizontal strips.

I thought that but they’re pretty much flush with rest of the panel.

They are most likely there to eliminate panel warp during the injection molding process. big broad flat panels without a lot of shape typically like to warp.

EDIT: from a design standpoint, they might also just be there to add some visual interest and make it look like it's "FUNCTIONAL" and break up an otherwise big flat broad boring surface.

I feel like this question has popped up before and we all figured out that they were extra microphones used for noise canceling purposes.

That's what I meant too. "noise canceling"

Just a joke. The mic is actually somewhere else.
