Default Strange little clip

So, washed the 01 vert today... club will be in the Memorial Day parade Saturday morning...

Anyway, while drying & doing a little detailing I noticed some way **** inside where the drivers door meets the fender. I opened the door & was wiping the area through the opening with a rag & heard something fall into the inner fender. Down where the back of the fender has the two 8mm screws on the bottom rear of the fender... Tried to fish it out & finally wiggled my arm down behind the washer reservoir and this is what came out... I have NO idea where it goes, looked on the other side (passenger) & not seeing it there either Unfortunately, it has popped at one of the corners & I will have to epoxy or replace it before reinstalling... Anyone seen this little bugger before?
