Default any idea what this is?
If anything? I pulled the seats out today to go to the upholsterer... found this under the passenger seat amongst the debris... it's metal. It is part of the seat or anything else significant? Thx!

I've been through those seats a couple of times and don't remember seeing this. Great luck!

When I had my C5s I had the seats out a few times but do not remember seeing a piece like that.

That is the spring for the center console cup holder. Not a critical item.

BINGO! I had one go rogue on me three years ago. Once it pops it just makes for a lazy lid.
