Recognize this piece?

I found this laying on the passenger side floor. I can not think of anything that either I or my wife had in the car that it could have fallen out of. I looked up under the dash and glovebox but did not see where it might have fallen from. (Of course its hard to spot something missing if you don't know what the space looked like before! )

Anyone recognize it?

And yes I know the mat is dirty and I am a little embarrassed by that!

If you're not going to post a pic, you at least have to describe it for us.

You've got to actually upload the picture to somewhere (either your gallery here, or Photobucket, or something) for it to work.

It hooks in behind the glovebox to provide airconditioning within the glovebox. Might have to take the glovebox out to install it again....it's hard to fit back in the right place.

Thanks! I wondered if that might be what it was. Not ever having looked up there before, I wasn't sure where to look or what to look for.

I guess since my box is full of CD's and other junk, there's no need to hurry up and re-install. Maybe if I do an iPod interface in the glovebox next summer, that would be a good time.

Thanks again!

I just went back out and took a quick look. Quickly spotted the connection to the glovebox, not so much with the feed though. Maybe in better light. Anyway, as you said, no need for it, especially with winter fast approaching in RI. (although you would never know it by the temp today - mid-60's )
