Boot lid strap? (What's this do?)

what is this broken metal strap(?) Grounding strip? It's super thin and I can't figure out it's purpose. Is it important enough to replace? Thanks in advance!What is this?

certainly appears to be a ground strap. That's the boot hinge? Is there a strap on the other hinge? If so I'd not worry about it. If no I'd probably solder a small piece of wire between the two chunks to restore the function.
