Doug_GT350 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Here's pics again.hope it shows up. I'm going with a full out guess, but it looks like some sort of shipping protection gizmo. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Here's pics again.hope it shows up. No idea but if I had to take a guess it appears to be some sort of rubber bumper, perhaps to keep the seat back from slamming down too hard. Since you found the part in the interior, if you are familiar with Gary Disney you may want to email him a photo of the part to see if he recognizes it as an interior piece.

twobjshelbys Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Is it part of the seat belt retractor stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks for contact with Gary.sent him email.not part of seatbelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boss Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'd throw it in the glove box and forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Very nice note from Gary Disney.case closed thanks for all the helpful suggestions.here's his note. Wow, got me man, never have seen that particular part before. Maybe it was something that the installers used for their purposes? I do not use anything like that in any of our applications and I have not seen it in a Ford application or on any of the Mustangs I have personally worked on. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I don't think it's anything to worry about on your car. Guess it is a Johnson rod. Think my concern comes from having a number of old gtos,where every part had a purpose,and if something fell off the car would overheat,??

BIKEBOY Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I have two thoughts..... one is a possible part ON the car and another not so much. The possibility ON the car would be a bump stop on the glove box? The latter, and what it really looks like to me, is a stop on some sort of a lanyard or strap. Sorta like those built in stops on cheap electrical cords. ie. irons, and hand held appliances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIKEBOY Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Maybe an email to Bill Nye the Science guy is in order? Sorry..... just teasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torched10 Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Thanks.

kazman Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'd throw it away. Then, next week after the garbage is taken away, it will become obvious where it belongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shel-b001 Posted November 21, 2017 Report Share Posted November 21, 2017 Here's pics again.hope it shows up. Just a guess looks like carpet hook ring pad to put over the hook as a pad ,to put a solid carpet with no eyelets . Just a wild guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
