Default What Is It???

This clip has been in my garage for a while and I can’t think of anything it was a part of. Google image search returned a wild array of nothing. It’s about 3”x3”x2”. Seat belt cover? Car seat part? No clue. I can throw it away. But I know for a fact, if I do, I’d need it the next day. Anyone has an idea?

When in doubt...it is an ashtray.

I would guess it was to cover the safety strap, but it's just a guess

It looks like a modesty cover for a mechanism. Look for something that moves and/or something that is bolted to the chassis. Like a car seat.

Soviet-era cup holder for a Lada Riva?

Google lens says this:

The object in the image is an ISOFIX (International Organization for Standardization FIX) guide for car seats. These guides are designed to make it easier to install car seats that use the ISOFIX system. They are typically made of rigid plastic and have a shaped opening that aligns with the ISOFIX anchor points found in many modern vehicles

Google lens also said that it's most likely a vehicle engine part or a boat motor part... I'm a bit sceptical. This is definitely a clip which goes into something with four holes and locks into place.

Looks like a handle that would have went in maybe a cooking or BBQ item, like an electric crock pot?

It looks like the end cap to a seat track, the little rails the seat slides on.


Or for weed...

This subreddit could help. I’ve seen them identify lots of obscure stuff.

When you touch it, do your teeth vibrate? It could be some kind of alien tech.
