Default Rubber Bumper

I found this rubber part in the driveway after washing my car today and I don't know where it goes on the car. Seems like I remember seeing something like this when I installed a Vararam some time back but I can't remember. Would anybody be familiar with this part? I know it can't be that important but I knew where it went I would put it back in its place.

Thanks.

It fits on the radiator shroud cover far right side, on the passenger side. the slot fits on the shroud and keeps a hose from chaffing on the shroud. Someone else will have to show a picture, cause mine is missing.

Also, if you access the Sticky: Weights, measurements, ratios, strengths, etc , at the top of C5 General and page down quite a bit, you can get additional info. Same thing happened to me. Put it back on but kept on falling off. Sits on a shelf in my garage now. The best part is I have realized a substantial "SOTP" feel due to the reduction in weight... Almost as good as the performance hood seal!!

I would never have thought to look at that sticky for that. After looking there I know I should go there more often, I did not realize it was a common question. I am going to leave it off, when I tried to put it back it was obvious that it come off again. I can't see where anything there is going to rub enough to do damage and it looks better off too. Thanks to all.
