No. Both are in place. Besides, those look quite a bit different. Thanks.

Passenger seat... Somebody put that there just to mess with you.


Is it working?

Part of the seat ejection system maybe?

You might have something there. And yes, it's working.

Made sure that was disabled after losing one of the best girlfriends I've ever had.

Looks like some kind of roller maybe? Just guessing though.

I have had the interior torn apart on a couple of occasions, including recovering seats. Never seen that before. Looks to be some kind of grommet.

It may have fell off one of the robots that assembled the car.

I have had my car apart too and I don't recognize it.

I'd say it's a muffler bearing, but ordinarily you find them under the driver's seat, not the passenger's...

At least it wasn't under the back seat.

Look on your floor mats and see if one of the grommets is missing...
