it keeps the radiator shroud from rubbing on the a/c line on the passenger side. just slip it on the shroud between the a/c line. just hold it to the contour of the shroud and you can see which way the curvature goes.

That thing always falls off when I'm wiping the dust off the engine. I never knew what it was for, I just stuck it back on anywhere it would stick.

I did the same thing a few weeks ago; pick up the radiator cover after removal, see that lying on the ground, start scratching my head.
