Where does this part go?
So I found this rubber bumber thing under the seat when I was vacuuming my 2010 Grand Sport. ( I put in next to the remote so you can get a idea of the size of it ) Any idea where it goes in the car? I checked the glove box door but they are smaller and still in place. I looked at the consolde door, back hatch, driver and pass door but no luck. I hate to throw it away as I assume it came from the car, can someone help me out?

i know it sounds stupid or maybe obvious to some, but maybe it'll set off a lightbulb to someone, but it looks like some type of stopper to prevent slamming of something. The little part on top goes in a hole and the larger part is what the other part hits to prevent hitting too hard. For instance, maybe it goes at the end of the seat rail so when the seat goes all the way back it hits it softly with no noise? or glove compartment stopper.... IDK just throwing ideas out there....

I think it is a rubber cushion that goes in the console cover...
It looks like one of the rubber 'thingies' that cushion the console when it closes...
But I could be wrong!

some owners swear by home made fixes (do a search for "creaking"), those fixes never worked for me.
yes - it's a known problem... some cars have it worse than others...
BTW, it's not to be confused with thermal expansion noise which is normal (and goes away on its own after a few initial creaks and groans right after the top adjusts itself).
