Help identifying a part/clip

[TARHEELKIDD]

I found this laying in the floorboard on the front passenger side of my 2020 Gladiator. I have looked under the dash, front sest, etc and cannot locate where it came from.. I am not even sure if it is from my Gladiator. I did a google image search and came up empty.

Based on the unique shape and design in your photo, that is a Mopar Seat Cover Retainer/Upholstery Clip.
These clips are used to anchor the seat fabric or leather to the metal frame or foam of the seat. Because of their "triple-slot" or "E-shaped" design, they are often used at the edges of the seat cushion to keep the material pulled tight and wrinkle-free.
Details & Identification
* Common Use: Securing seat covers, particularly in Jeep, RAM, and Dodge vehicles (such as the RAM 1500, Jeep Wrangler, or Grand Cherokee).
* How it Works: The long, flat side is usually sewn into a fabric pocket or plastic strip on the edge of the seat cover. The "hooked" or flared ends then snap over a metal rod or flange on the seat frame.
* Part Numbers: While there are many variations, similar clips often fall under general Mopar descriptions like "Seat Clip" or "Cover Panel Clip." Specific part numbers often look like 68405354AA or 5183550AA depending on the specific model year and seat location (front vs. rear).
Why did you find it?
If you found this on the floor of your vehicle, it likely popped off the bottom of the seat cushion. This often happens if:
* The seat cover was pulled too tight.
* Something was shoved under the seat and caught the clip.
* The plastic has become brittle and the "fingers" that grip the frame have weakened.

Thank you. The Jeep came with Katzskin seat covers. It must be a clip from the seat. I will check in the morning to see if I can locate where it broke off.

Good to know. I will keep it in mind for the future.
