Default Mystery Question


The wife found a 2 1/4" X 2 1/4" X 1/8" thick square of rubber with a sticky back on it in the garage after I pulled out my roadster. I've looked under the car and did not see anything obvious. I also looked under the hood and lifted the roadster top half off to see if there was a matching black square.

Does anyone have any idea as to where the black square of rubber is from? Has anyone seen anything similar on their cars?

Pics would help so we can see what it looks like, and what to compare it to shape/material/pattern wise...

Same thing here, I believe it is simply an assembly pad for the chassis as it moves through production. It has a weak adhesive on one side.

could be a support that goes inside the bumper. i know my car has a few foam blocks with weak adhesives that i had to re-attach after doing the rear camera install.

rubber, not foam.

might just be a contact "pad" as stated before so the assembly robots don't scratch the metal
