Default Found Loose Part Identification

Found this on the floor near the clutch pedal. It's about an inch long, I'd say.

Many thanks.

Looks like a clip that holds the knee bolster on possibly.

That is one of the clips that holds up the wiring for your rear O2 sensors. There are about three or four of them along the length of the wiring. Check underneath, on either side of the midpipe section. You will probably see where it's missing.

This is NOT one of the O2 sensor clips.

Plus it was on the drivers floor.... I would think it's something that was under the driver side dash. Don't think it's the knee bolster, although I haven't removed mine in some time. I want to say it's for some set of wires under there.

I agree, top left hand side.

Slides onto the section shown by the arrow. Maybe also used elsewhere on the dash, but my memory fails me.

Very well could be a knee bolster clip. That's where I would start looking.

Is that the piece that has the fog lamp and trunk buttons?

Yes. My bad. I misread the post. I'll try again.
It looks like one of the clips that holds the upper left side of the knee bolster where it attaches to the rest of the dash (near the door hinge). I had the same clip fall out when I removed my bolster to install a CLB.
