<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(bugmenot @ Dec 31 2006, 04:31 PM) [snapback]369041[/snapback]</div> So no-one admits to putting it there? This is like playing Clue! I say Professor Plum did it in the garage with the plastic bracket ...
if no one has told you yet, it's the seat belt dealy that goes into eather the seat or up by the door.. help keep the seatbelt on track..
I'm with the idea that it's part of a kid's car seat...could the car have been taken for a test drive or did you get it fresh off the truck? Could someone have been checking for fit of a car seat? That's exactly what it looks like.
Oh, so it was found in a brand new car? Now I see why you're so concerned. God I love a good mystery ....
Brand new. Because the part looks a little dinged, I thought an employee removed it and forgot to put it back.
Maybe it is not a Prius part at all? Some one dropped in the car at some point. I went over the seat belt and it does not look like it fits there at least not on my car. The sales person that attached my plates for me grabbed Ford attachment bolts and then made them work ( a Ford Toyota dealership) ! The service department replaced the front licenses plate holder. Luckily the rear bolts were in place. There was some muttering under the breath by the service people about sales people being allowed to touch a tool at any time! :lol: PC will figure this out I am sure! What fun for New Years. Almost as good as red beans and rice! B)

So 600 threads per inch is realisticly, the max. That being said, yes, you did give a nice illustration. But as to what the gromet goes to? Unknown. Pragmaicly, gromets prevent the inside thingie from rubbing on a surface rougher than the rubber itself. So check around for wire clusters, etc.

I am not sure at all but go look at your door where the wiring harneses pass thru and see if that is it. it could not fall out with the wire going though it but might have been dropped inside the car during assembly
