Where does this piece go?

After a car wash while drying up the back of my 2009 Clubman I opened the barn doors and ran a towel along the inside of the doors. When I went to close the left door I noticed it wouldn't close and there was a rubber stopper sitting there. I picked it up and then the door would close.
The problem is that I have no idea where it goes.
The part number is mini 51492756547.
I found a layout of the Clubman rear on this webpage (Part #15): http://parts.miniofsouthatlanta.com/...ey_trimLevel=0

After looking at it I'm still at a loss. I think I need to see a picture or another Clubman backside so I know where it goes.
I have also attached a picture of the actual rubber bumper.
I appreciate your assistance.
Greg

This diagram might be a bit better.



It sits above the bumper, centered and tucked under the rubber seal. Hope that helps!

rubber stoppper

I have knocked mine off a couple of times with a towel also. It wedges right in the middle of the doors jst above the bumber cover. There is a large round bolt there that you have to wiggle it around to get it seated properly.

Yep, I've dislodged mine a few times when cleaning the car. If you remove the bolt and slide the piece in place it will go right back as it should...

LadyGodiva,

Where did you find this diagram? I have been looking around for a site that has them, but have been unsuccessful. Just want to make sure I have all components necessary for some DIY jobs.

Thanks!
