Here is the part question. I had the 40k/4 year service done last week and everything was great. No issues with the car. I even drove it on a 300 mile road trip with no issues.
A few days ago when I made a tight turn, I heard a short rattle behind the steering wheel. I then found this piece on the floor mat. Any ideas what it is? Should I be concerned?
It looks similar to the brake pedal clip that secures the brake booster push rod to the brake pedal. If I am right you should be able to confirm by looking at the top of the brake pedal where it actuates the booster rod. If there is a piece missing, then thats the part.
If this is the culprit, it is important and should be reinstalled. Looks like a pretty easy DIY.

I found the same piece a couple of days ago. I've looked but can't see where is goes. Do you have a picture of where it goes?
It might be found elsewhere, but I know it's also used to hold the air vents into the dash.
They break off very easily. When I did my Burmester tweeter upgrade on my C2S I had 2 break off on the drivers side air vent.
It is plastic welded on, I fixed mine by gorilla gluing it back on and leaving it out overnight.
Hope that helps.
Image I found on the web.

I have a 13 C4S and had to have my vents replaced because those little clips were falling out of my dash...... had the passenger side and center replaced so far under warranty.
