Found this plastic thing in my C5. Does anyone know what it is or even if it is a part of a C5?

Might help us identify the part if you tell us where about in the car you found it.

If I remember right I found it on drivers side floor last year and put it in console and saw it there today and wondered if it was off the car or not. It can't be too important everything works just fine.

It's not chrome and it doesn't have double sided tape. Is is not from a Corvette.

Might as well forget it. I doubt it's from a Corvette. I don't know why I saved it, but of course as soon as I throw it away, I will find out where it goes and what it does.
