Can you guess what this doo-da is for??(w124)

After stripping out the rear/middle carpet section and front seats on the 300D, I've been left with one of those parts that is just lurking on the floor of the car and I have no idea what it's from. Can you help please?? Here's a pic...



The lower section is soft foam.

any part number on it ?

if so, put it up, as someone will know how to get the answer.

Cheers, but no there isn't. If there is maybe it's under the glued foam....

Tis odd for sure. Not a scoob myself.

 

[jonsheaf]

Looks like some sort of anti rattle clip I'm guessing. I think it was lurking drivers side midway along the floor, so possibly has come from under the drivers seat???

Fire Ex bracket.....??

I've just had a look on the EPC to confirm my theory, and failed, but, from memory it looks like a seat belt guider from within the 'B' pillar. Have they been taken off before by a PO?

 

[jonsheaf]

Ahaa! Quite possibly. If it is, should I refit or leave as the belts retract fine and I don't want to prise apart even more trim and find a can of worms. It's daunting enough the car having just a metal floor staring back at me! (Good time to check for leaks though whilst it's tipping it down!!)

 

[trapperjohn]

If it aint broke dont fix it Yes I am bearing in mind its a possible safety feature.

That description sounds like an anti-rattle spacer.

When I bought my car, I found what looked like a strimmer cord spool under the seat. I eventually decided it was a strimmer cord spool.

No interior puddles so far!! Also the back end seems dry-- looks like the "Captain Tollys creeping crack cure" ridiculously named sealant did the job on those window seals!!

On second thoughts....................

Jules Verne used a big sack load of these to allow others to follow his route to the earths centre. I would guess he walked through your 124 on the way. Follow the arrow.

 

[jonsheaf]

Ha!
Interior all refitted this afternoon, that plastic wotsit lives half way up the B pillar initially glued to it, guiding the belt/stopping it slapping? I refitted it as yes, it appeared the trim had been unclipped in the past.

Captain creepy crack makes a (well known in the Marine world) sealant that is water based and seems to be similar to the now unavailable Comma seek 'n seal sunroof/window leak sealer. Did the job for me *, the hardest part was removing all the silicone the previous owner had smeared about and then fingerprinted about!

* so far...

B pillar clip just under where the seatbelt adjustment bit is
