Mystery Part
I was washing the Vette yesterday, and I noticed this object sticking out of and wedged in the crack near the bottom rear edge of the passenger door. I open the door and removed it. It could just be road trash, but..... it's black (so is my Vette) and the stringy part coming from the oval piece seems like fiberglass. I've looked and looked at the door and interior on that side of the car, and I can't find anything missing? The broken part seems to be either hard plastic or perhaps a soft pot metal?
Any ideas on what it might be?
TIA.

Jim could be a door latch rivet. Look on the inside of your door Jam where the latch catches. there are three rivets there that hold the catch in place. Start there.

You got me as to what that thing is. It will be interesting to hear what you find out.
