Can anyone tell me what this piece is??

I found this in my glove box. I can't figure out what it is, where it goes, or what it's supposed to do. Does anyone here know?

I really don't know what this is...

It looks like a part of the A/C to the glovebox... Just a guess...

Let me check on RealOEM.com...

My vote would be for a fuse box cover. Check this link:

look for item 13 (13 in a circle). Unfortunately, the above page doesn't include descriptions.

To my knowledge, the car is stock. This is what the engine looks like around the air intake box:



Or at least I am assuming that is the air intake box! I really don't know much about anything under the hood.

I looked under the dash, I couldn't find a spot for this thing, unless I am looking in the wrong spot.
