That looks like a very old, rare glued-on suction cup! 
Yea, i would say carefully remove it and ditch it.
Looks like it was a suction cup mount for something that did not stick, so the owner then slobbered glue all over it.
Over the years, it had probably turned very hard and solid...

Thats a thing-a-m-jig. Only used on very rare Olds. Have only seen a few of these. Save it for a re-install when you sell the car. Don't forget where you put it. worth a lot of money in the future.

I am pretty sure it is a thing-a-ma-bob. It is really hard to tell the difference from a thing-a-ma-jig which is smaller, Other than size, they are the same but never came from the factory. Sell it to somebody with a Ford.

Experimental piece!
Come on, that's an extremely rare experimental cyclonic dash drain! Check the numbers once you remove it and make sure you take detailed pictures so it gets put back in exactly the right spot
That's rarer than an original W27 rear...CHACHING!!!
