Default Found this in my 991 - don't know what it is!?

Hi,

while cleaning/vacuuming my 991 I did find this piece of plastic.
I am concerned if it belongs somewhere important and I did break it.
Have no clue where it could be coming from. Have kind of seen it before, but don't remember.

Any hints of the origin?
THANK YOU!

Look at your seat track where it bolts to the floor. The plastic piece slides over the end of it and snaps in place it’s for cosmetics and to keep dirt and debris from the track

Looks like a broken part of some zipper? It's not the seat track cover.

After looking at again I believe you are correct. Too small for the seat track

Are you sure it is part of the car and not some personal item that broke off?

If it is from your car, it’s likely a panel clip. There are similar panel clips on the side panels for the center consoles of 991’s and 718’s. They often break if the panel has lateral tension when being removed.
