What the heck is this piece?

[mphilleo]

I was driving home the other day in my fairly new Gladiator (still under 1K miles) the other day. I had the Sunrider flipped back and was driving along the county highway when I noticed something on the front passenger seat. It wasn't there before, it was big enough that I'd have seen it. It was a piece of color-matched plastic (Anvil clearcoat) that obviously had paint applied to it. When I got home, I looked around the Jeep to see what it could've come from but didn't find anything. It's not a huge deal, I think, but now I'm just curious what it could be. The plastic feels very low quality, very light weight and that makes me wonder if it was a piece of some sort of retention piece or jig for when the Jeep was getting painted. It must have been somewhere above the sound bar or a higher area and eventually bounced out while driving, since I noticed it after driving over railroad tracks.

Does anyone have an idea what it is?

I love a good mystery. I’ll be curious.

Pretty sure that is a broken clip ( 1 of 2) from the lower edge of your back window on the inside of the Jeep

OK, my bad - its plastic and you found it on the front seat so its gotta be from the Sunrider...

I looked all around my Gladiator and didn't find a thing that matches. I think you're right. It's some assembly or painting jig.

Now that the serious stuff is covered...

It's a tracking device. Not alien but government. I don't know what you did to make it fall out but it has to go back. I can pen you in for 0330 next Tuesday if that works for you. Make sure that you're asleep this time or we'll have to use that memory flash thingy again. Also, please make sure that that rug is laid flat. My team nearly tripped over it the last time. A six pack of Old Style in the fridge would be nice too.
