I may be wrong but I think that's a contact block for the hatch pull down.
You should be able to find one in the classifieds.

Re: Not sure what to call it !!!!

There is no attached plate that closes the hatch, there is a switch for that down under the cover shown. What he is looking for is the contact plate for a third brake light.
